If the full sentence was served this would take him up to 14 October 1881.
My family lived in the area of Spring Garden Lane at the time and they seem to have a different address on every document I've looked at so families did move around a lot in that area, with guest houses and rooms rented out from houses.
There's a few Thomas Caseys in Sunderland at the time, so with a check on the census forms for all of them you should be able to eliminate the some of them, though this is only circumstancial evidence.
