Have you tried searching for mis-transcriptions of his name??

Use the wild card * to replace letters.

You must have a minimum of 3 letter ....... try I*s*t

Have you searched for Sophia by herself? He does say he is a stoker on the marriage certificate, and that may mean that he worked on board a ship, and so was away from home

Have you looked for a death?

GRO Index shows there are possible children of the marriage

ISSITT, THOMAS CHARLES mmn WILLIAMS
GRO Reference: 1894 J Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 490
ISSITT, ALFRED GEORGE mmn WILLIAMS
GRO Reference: 1895 D Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 539

ISSITT, SOPHIA mmn WILLIAMS
GRO Reference: 1901 J Quarter in HACKNEY Volume 01B Page 430


The problem is these children show on the 1901 Census as the children of Thomas and Sophie Issitt



Have you looked to see if they emigrated.
