["He married for a second time after Christine's death and had a son from that second marriage"]: If I understand your post correctly, Christine Bolland d:27 Nov 1877, is that correct ?. The son from [Ernst Frederick Carl Pfingsten]'s m2. to [Rebecca Fredricka] being [Ernest Arthur Pfingsten] was b:05-05-1887. The son from the m2 is b:05-05-1887 before Christine Bolland d:27 Nov 1877 !!!. So Christine could NOT have been m. to EFCP in 1887. What is Christine's surname on the "burial record", I assume it was PFINGSTEN ?.
