death of Jabez Brittain after 1871 census

[Melton]

Jabez was baptised at Heage chapel on 25 April 1842.  I cannot trace him after the 1871 census when he and his family lived at the ship inn, st mary's gate, chesterfield.  He married Sarah Elizabeth Barker at the parish church, staveley, derby on 22 june 1863.
Jabez narrowly escaped the Clay Cross pit disaster in 1861 and I wonder if he might have died in another such disaster.
I can't find anything in Ancestry, Familysearch or Findmypast and don't know where else to look, so any help would be much appreciated.  Thank you all.

Melton - a warm welcome to Rootschat!

Have you found his wife after 1871 please?

Welcome from me too. 

On the 1863 marriage - his surname is spelt Britton

There are newspaper reports from 1871 concerning a Chesterfield case involving a Jabez Brittain of the Old Ship Inn, St Mary’s Gate. Does that sound like your Jabez?

Added: apologies, you had all of this. I’ll shut up now.

[AlanBoyd]

I’ve found Jabez Brittain at that address in 1871. He is 28, born Heage.

In 1881 Sarah & children are living in Yorkshire & she is shown as a widow.  Youngest child is aged 9 b Derbyshire

She remarries to Michael Harrison in 1882  as Sarah Elizabeth Britton

Thank you Carole - so it looks like his death between 1871 and 1881 is 'missing' at the moment - how strange.

I've just been looking thru the deaths from 1871-1881 & there are 2 Jabez Britton entries but ages don't match

There is a birth on freebmd for a Jabez Bridden in Derbyshire 1842
