By 1881 Grace is a widow, if he died at sea there will not always be a death cert.

I have checked on FindMyPast...there are no deaths recorded "at sea" for Padfield between 1872 and 1881.

yes this is the right family. He may have been a "waggoner"

thanks anyway
Do you know where to find employment records for that period? or crew lists,
I don't know if he was a sailer or merchant or even just a simple fisherman. How can I find out?

So sorry Lesley...I am afraid I cannot help.. it's somewhat out of my league now.

I have taken a look on FindMyPast GRO Consular death Indices from 1871 to 1882 and I cannot find anything there either.

his profession should be in the marriage certificate

if he did go to sea at a later date then it will be hard to find any info unless you can find the name of the ship, crew lists are kept by ship name / ship number
