It is clear from what is stated that B had no male issue. In that case it is the "dauhitran" (daughter's 2nd. son) who has the right to do the rites for B. But if the grandson was very young, the father i.e., A himself could have performed the rites after getting "pillu" from the grandson. Since that also was not done, it looks as though A has only one son or he also has no male issues and that was why B's brother performed the rites. The annual ceremony being done by A after getting "pillu" from B's wife will not continue after the death of B's wife (A's mother-in-law) in the absence of any other factor. If however A has received assets (land, gold, money, etc.) from B and/or his wife, then A has the obligation to perform the annual ceremonies of both B and B's wife.

This is from practical, worldly practice which I have seen. Dharmasastras may say differently.
