Yes that is what I have I'm waiting for his birth certificate to arrive to confirm his parents.  As I'm hoping it will have a bit of information on about his father as on the cenus he's down as been born in Scotland.

The more I look at the dates I'm starting to think he might have committed sucide as he lost his wife in 1894 the youngest child was Septimus who was born in 1893. Maybe he could not cope with 8 children. ???? It does open a lot of what if's.

I guess if the body was found several months later it was probably never known if he fell  accidently, was pushed, or jumped on purpose
