I'm still researching and I thought you may like to have this newspaper entry:
The Hampshire Advertiser County Newspaper 10th March 1888 Page 4
Marriages
On the 6th inst., at Valparaiso, Ernest Fontaine to Jessie, daughter of the late Francis Worsley of Newport, Isle of Wight.

Jessie was the daughter of Caroline Eliza Sneyd and Wetenhall's granddaughter. She died in Concepcion in Chile in 1929. She was Ernest Fontaine's second wife. He was a French businessman from Rouen and I suspect that Jessie was a governess to the children by his first marriage, following him out to Chile. The births Jessie's children (Jessie 1889, Marguerite 1890 and Gaston 1894) are recorded not only in Valparaiso but also in Rouen thanks to French consul.

There are indications that Jessie's descendants are still in Chile. ¹

Ernest married Laure PRETOT on 30 Jun 1866 in Matriz del Salvador, Valparaiso, Chili. (Laure PRETOT was born on 23 Oct 1847 in Viña del Mar, Valparaiso, Chili, died on 1 Dec 1882 in Valparaiso, Chili and was buried in Doce Apóstoles, Valparaíso, Valparaíso, Chile.)
