Stowell - Ramsey (Late 1800's/Early 1900's)

Hi All

I have come accross a huge stumbling block with one of the branches of my Family tree.

My Great, Great Grandfather a man called William Robert Stowell (a mariner from Ramsey) is proving difficult to trace. He was married to Margaret (nee. Kinrade) and they had 3 children, William, John and Amy Eleanor (my great grandmother). There is a record of them at Bark Lane in Ramsey in the 1891 census - but they were living with who appears to be Margaret's Mother and William Robert is nowhere to be seen. But, he does appear on my Great, Great grandmothers marriage certificate in 1918 as deceased.

I don't know if anyone has any records of him? or if anyone has any idea's of avenues I could try to trace him, Please let me know. I am desparately trying to find out his DOB and parents, as well of a record of when he died. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Claire.
