there is a death in Greenwich in 1915 that could be him, aged 37, that just about sits with a 1877/78 birth.

only way to find out would be the certificate (Greenwich, December Quarter 1915, 1d 1263)

edited :  the register of deaths for Greenwich gives him dying on 7th October, he was married and a "Dealer", living at 28 Tamerton (?) Road, St Nicholas.  Doesn't give a cause of death or where he was buried. 

If he was a hawker in 1911, a dealer could be interchangeable for that occupation, I suppose.

It seems he married Elizabeth Kingham in June Quarter 1913 in Greenwich, so that 1915 death could well be him if they stayed in Greenwich area.
