Hello Emms, it is a pleasure for me to talk with you. I found you because this wonderful tool called Google exists. 
I just wrote Axel Rudolf Frick and your post appeared. As I told you he is my greatgrandfather. He was an engineer and vice consul of Sweden. He came to work for the British Company ''São Paulo Railway Company".
Ok, so, see what interesting thing...On the marriage certificate that listed the ceremony took place on the Praia do Russel...it means that belongs to Russel. Colonel John Frederick Russel, joint owner of The City of Santos Improvements Company Limited. The City, as it was called, received the concession from Brazilian Emperor to deploy gas lighting, water ans sewerage, railways and others etc etc. I believe that they all were friends...Carruthers, Russel, Frick. By the way, you understand portuguese? There is an immense source of information about these companies. If you need some help tell me.
By the way, what is your real interest in this history? Are you from UK? Are you from Carruthers family? I am from São Paulo - Brazil.
About the certificate of marriage it is original.
