He was with his parents in the 1881 Census. He has not been found in the 1891 or 1901 Censuses. A family tree on Ancestry states that he married Teresa ("Tessie") (nee) Gatt on February 7th 1899 at Valletta, Malta and produced by her two children, Percy Clement and Edith.

It is not known why he had been in the Azores, nor how he died. Probate was granted to Teresa on September 12th 1904, his effects being valued at £265.
