Help needed tracing somene who disappears from the records

[deejayEn]

I was looking into the family of my great-grandmother's cousin Caroline Wisby (b1851). She married John George Gough who was a solicitor. They had four children, all sons, three of them I can trace what happened but one who had the unusual name of Denner Strutt Gough, born 1874 in London, disappears after the 1891 census.
I have tried looking for a marriage, a death or an emigrtion but can find no trace of him. I suppose as he had such an unusual name (he was named after a 17th century ancestor called Sir Denner Strutt) he may have changed it to something a little less unusual, but how can I find out?

Any help will be welcome.

I see in 1911 John George Gough has helpfully put details about children
4 born one deceased.

Have you worked out who is who for that?
Ie has another one died?

Added
It seems to me the other 3 sons are all alive , so it must be Denner who has died. But like you I cannot see it.

[Milliepede]

Yes that is an unusual name.  Might be worth doing a newspaper search just in case a death or anything else is mentioned.

Where were they living when you last see him?

Odd for a solicitor's son to be working as a plumber's boy.

Odd for a solicitor's son to be working as a plumber's boy.

In 1881 John G Gough was a tobacconist  (if I read it correctly)

[JenB]

The 1891 census reads 'Solicitors' not Solicitor. I think there is a word missing.

His occupation at the time of marriage was Solicitor's clerk.

Thanks to all of you.

mckha489 - I hadn't noticed that, Denner must be the one who died although I couldn't find a death record anywhere so he must have changed his name. I need to dig a bit more.

Milliepede - I did look in the newspapers for Denner/Dennie/Den Gough and could find anything but of course he might be there under another name.

JenB - yes John and Caroline ran a tobacconists shop, or more likely she did and he was still a solicitor's clerk.

I'm not saying this has any information on Denner, but I guess this is his father?

Maybe his death was registered as "unknown male"?

Deaths Sep 1907
Unknown   Male   30   Hackney      1b      194

His mother (d. 1890) and father (d. 1918) are buried in the same plot, Square 115/125, Grave 29144, Highgate Cemetery East Memorials.

If he died between 1891 and 1911, he should have been buried in the same plot, otherwise he must have died far from home.

IF he changed his name, I suppose John would be a good guess given that he was the firstborn son of John George Gough.

This death record could be him
