William died later that same year in Barton, on October 25, 1851. Wife Amelia was buried aged 59 years on May 7, 1863 at St. Mary's Churchyard in Barnetby le Wold, Lincolnshire.

Caroline is recorded as Abraham's niece in 1871. In 1861 Caroline is found residing in Hull as a servant in the employ of William H. Smith, a bookseller. However, in 1851 Caroline seems to be the daughter of William and Amelia, and would therefore be Abraham's sister.
Abraham died in Lincolnshire in 1880 at the age of 46 years. The following year the family is found still residing at the local hair dresser's shop in Barton:
