Benjamin Altree

Hoping to find possible death of Benjamin , who I think emigrated to Cape Town. He was born 1829 and may have married his second wife in 1862 Any help much appreciated

Those two results you gave are actually on someone else's tree I am double checking as firstly I did not know he had a Smith as middle name , I did see a Benjamin Smith Altree but he was from London, I am wondering if the tree owner went down wrong path .
My Benjamin put a notice in newspaper in 1857 saying he was no longer responsible for any debts of Esther his wife. She actually went into Powick Asylum in 1861 until she died in 1908
