Freya, On the marriage certificate of Dorothy PONTIN to Patrick STOREN , 1924, Dorothy I think names her parents.
Is it mentioned there whether mother is deceased?

Have you searched Trove for a death/ funeral notice for Victor? She might be mentioned there.

Yes I did find his obit but I'm unable to up load, there
was no info on his children although there was mention of a pallbearer of a Smith which is possibly Ediths Pontins daughter Clarice husband?
