Can the bunch of Baumgardts be connected in Australia?

Three of the children of Swedish-born Theodore Baumgardt and his English-born wife ended up in Australia, where he also emigrated himself, late in life, as a widower with none of his children left in Sweden.

Theodore Frederick Baumgardt was a pharmacist. According to a Swedish newspaper he had a pharmacy in Kangaroo Point in 1890.

Marion Georgina Baumgardt married in Brisbane in 1887.

I suspect Theodore Frederic also married in Australia, and both these families had children - I have peeked at Familysearch, but feel that they would be better off in the hands of someone more familiar with Australian sources.

I have orphaned the profiles, just like I did with the third sibling, Emilie Pfannenstiel neé Baumgardt and her family, whose profiles have had some good work done on them since I asked about them yesterday.

You're right about Theodore Frederick marrying, Eva. It was to Mary Anne Davison on 19 August 1886 in Queensland. I've added a reference to the profile.

Interesting question and good answer.

Well done everyone!
Thanks for the answer, Jim! That was useful.

It seems that Davison was her married name. FamilySearch has her with maiden name Raine - same surname as Marion Baumgardt's husband.

There's so much on them at familySearch that I should maybe venture in and do some of the profile creation work.
