Help with a death

Can anyone help me please. I am trying to find out which year my Gt Gt Gt grnadfather Philip Mylrea died. Philip was born about 1793 in Douglas and was a stonemason. He is listed with wife Jane (b. abt 1797) and son John (a shoemaker b. abt 1833) in the 1861 census. One of his daughters (Sarah) married in 1868 in Toxteth Park, by the fathers name on the certificate it does not say deceased, so I am assuming he was still alive then. On the 1871 census his son John is living with Jane his mother and it says she is a widow. I had always thought that as Sarah had moved to Toxteth with her family, but perhaps she went on her own. Philip's death must have been somewhere between 1868 and 1871.
Would it also be possible to find John on the1881 census ?
