I don't want to turn everyone on their heads with this, but I found the following today...
I found a Musician Bernhard August Heinrich Wendlandt, born 18th June 1861 in South Africa, to missionary father Heinrich Wilhelm Wendlandt (deceased by 1915) & then re-married mother Elisabeth Louisa Henriette Homann (nee Bensen). His mother remarried a Pastor and was last living in Adelaide, Australia. On the wedding certificate from Berlin in August 1915, it states that Bernhard Heinrich August married Gertrud (Mary) Winkelmann, born 13 Nov 1885 in Bairnsdale, Victoria. She was a singer by profession from Melbourne, born to Heinrich Gustav Alwin Winkelmann (1853-1933) and Maria Woodburn (1854-1937), both living in Melbourne, Victoria in 1915, but both her parents later died in Toowoomba, QLD. The wedding of the two took place on August 30th 1915 in Berlin Germany. I found a copy of his marriage to Gertrud on Ancestry. Did Helen know what became of her husband, I wonder ? His second marriage only lasted 3 years in either case.
There is also an entry of his second wife's death. Gertrud Wendlandt (nee Winkelman) died on 1st Dec 1918 in Berlin Wilmersdorf at home. Her death certificate was undersigned by her husband Bernhard August Heinrich Wendlandt on the 2nd December 1918. Gertrud's sister Florence seems to have died in 1962 in Oakey, QLD as well. I found no record of what became of Bernhard after 1918 in Berlin - yet.
