Wonder if he was a seaman.  A copy of the death cert should confirm his occupation

Both his parents had died before 1861 census.  Has he emigrated?  Or is he already dead: his brother Joseph names his first son after Ralph?

Or is he already dead:

No entry on freebmd pre 1871

If it is his death in Hampshire it's more likely he was a seaman
