17 December 1879 - Hampshire Advertiser - Southampton, Hampshire,.

I think this an obit for a daughter Mabel. so he wa deceased by 1879.

Born Waltham Abbey 1813. Interested to find out what happened to him as I can’t find a record of his death. Could have died abroad as he was involved in a failed gunpowder mill business.
