Trying to find the death of one Alfred Ernest MATHEW. Details to date are ….

Child born 1914/2 Cissie rose MATHEWS at Bow m=CONNAH ref Marylebone 1A953
Cissie Rose’s B/cert shows Father = MATHEWS living at 11 Q Peabody Estate, ships pantry man ).
1919/2 CONNAH Lillie (widow) married FLEMING William Henry at St Geo, Hanover Sq 1A1293
I have always assumed that Mathews was killed between 1914 and 1919 probably in WW1. However, I have never been able to find any record of his death.
There is 1 record as follows but why would he be in Staffordshire in 1915 if he was in the navy
1915/1 D MATTHEW Alfred Ernest at Cannock, Staffordshire age 36 6B660
I have the 1911 census details for him, he was separated from Lillie and living with his mother at that time.
Any help greatfully accepted and much appreciated.
