As Lawson Mead is missing from the census records of the family, and I couldn't find a death I had a look on census records and he is in a Hospital School. He is noted as orphan, so I would imagine that it is some kind of a home but can't be sure.

First name(s) Lawson
Last name Mead
Relationship Orphan
Marital status -
Gender Male
Age 9
Birth year 1882
Occupation Scholar
Birth town Bath
Birth town as transcribed BATH
Birth county Somerset
Birth county as transcribed SOMERSETSHIRE
Birth place England
House name St Johns Hospital School
Street High Street
Town Exeter
Parish Exeter
City Exeter
County Devon
Registration district Exeter
Archive reference RG12
Piece number 1692
Folio 49
Page 14
Record set 1891 England, Wales & Scotland Census
Category Census, land & surveys
Subcategory Census
Collections from Great Britain

Interesting as you mentioned, at the beginning that the person you were looking for may be in a home. I know this isn't him but it may have been the fuel for a family story.
