Default Missing family in 1881

I have this Stillings family whom I'm trying to locate in 1881:


1871 Census
PONTEFRACT, Yorkshire
RG10 piece 4631 folio 79 page 2
Island, Knottingley
STILLINGS, John Head M 58 1813 Plumber and Glazier Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Sarah Wife F 52 1819 Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Thomas Son M 26 1845 Plumber etc Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Hannah Daughter-In-Law F 20 1851 Knottingley Yorkshire

STILLINGS, Mark Son M 17 1854 Plumber Knottingley Yorkshire

1891 Census
PONTEFRACT, Yorkshire (West Riding)
RG12 piece 3756 folio 63 page 10
Seatons Yard, Aire Street, Knottingley
DALE, Hannah Wife Married F 37 1854 Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Tom Son Single M 19 1872 Glass Blower Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Arthur Son Single M 13 1878 Glass Worker Taken In Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Ellis Son Single M 10 1881 Scholar Knottingley Yorkshire
STILLINGS, Margaret Daughter Single F 8 1883 Scholar Knottingley Yorkshire
DALE, William Son Single M 5 1886 Scholar Knottingley Yorkshire
DALE, James Son Single M 2 1889 Knottingley Yorkshire
DALE, Frederick Son Single M0(4M) 1891 Knottingley Yorkshire

Thomas Stillings died in Sheffield in Sep qr 1881.
Ellis Stillings was born in Jun qr 1880 in the Pontefract district, so probably in Knottingley as shown by the 1891 census.

Hannah remarried - to Frederick Dale.

I've looked on both FMP and Ancestry but with no luck.
Earlier I found them transcribed as "Willings".

I've just found three baptisms on the same day in Ancestry:

Arthur
Ellis
Margaret

all 9 Sept 1883

It doesn't say that Thomas is deceased.
Can anyone read the occupation, please?

Am looking on the 1881 (my Skillings masquerade as Stullings, Rilleg etc) but no joy as yet.

Do you have Thomas' death cert? Was he in a hospital/workhouse?

Hi Phoenix.

This is the information I have on him so far:

Name: Thomas Stillings
Gender: Male
Baptism/Christening Date: 15 Nov 1845
Baptism/Christening Place: KNOTTINGLEY,YORK,ENGLAND
Father's Name: John Stillings
Mother's Name: Sarah
Indexing Project (Batch) Number: C10845-1


Deaths Sep 1881
STILLINGS Thomas Reid 36 Sheffield 9c 226

Stillings, Thomas Reich (Labouer, age 36).
Died at 96 Charlotte Rd; Buried on August 31, 1881 in Consecrated ground;
Grave Number 12219, Section X of City Road Cemetery, Sheffield.
Parent or Next of Kin if Available: . Remarks: .
Plot Owner:

He wasn't baptised as Thomas Reid Stillings but his sibling Charles was baptised as Charles Reid Stillings so I think it must be him as the age is correct.

His occupation on the baptisms is Plumber. Baptisms don't always show when a parent is deceased.

Thanks, Kite. I thought it might be that.

His father was a plumber and glazier.

Margaret was born posthumously.
