Where did Arthur Wilcoxon go ?

[wilcoxon]

if anyone want to have a go at this, please feel free. I feel like a beginner 
In light of new records that have come on the scene, perhaps he may turn up somewhere .
I have searched for years and have never found Arthur Wilcoxon.
He seems to have just dissapeared,  the dates have  narrowed it down but it still doesn`t help.

1851 HO107; Piece: 2171; Folio: 77; Page: 4;
At Private school.
Arthur Wilcoxon 12 born Cheshire

1861 Class: RG9; Piece: 2628; Folio: 136; Page: 35
Arthur age 24 with parents Thomas and Elizabeth.
Father and son are grocers and chandlers.

1871 RG10; Piece: 3726; Folio: 23; Page: 3;
Arthur is a publican at the Vaults , Bridge St Chester.
His wife is Mary born Scotland .

The 1872, 1873, and 1875 Electoral Registers still show Arthur as living in Bridge Street with a public house in Bridge Street, but by 1877 he has moved out and is registered as being a householder at 9 Paradise Row, Chester, this is the last record found of Arthur.
Where did he go. 

In 1881 Mary appears as Mary Wilcox at Rhianva, Russell Road, Rhyl. She is a widow aged 37 and employed as a housekeeper.

By 1891 Mary had moved on to Scampston Hall, Malton, where she was the  housekeeper,  a widow  aged 45

In 1901 we find  Mary Wilcoxon, widow, aged 54, born Scotland living at The Deanery, St Mary Magdalene, Lincoln.

 No sign of Arthur.

Arthur Wilcoxon baptised at St John the Baptist,Chester 18th july 1838
father Thomas Wilcoxon - a Soapboiler
mother Ellen
abode 12 Forestgate Street

age fits - Thomas as father - but Ellen - not Elizabeth as mother - could Ellen have died and Thomas re married ??  1861 census - are Thomas and Elizabeth in Chester ??...maybe Thomas the Soapboiler started his own chandlers ??

Same site
same church - St John the Baptist - burial of Ellen Wilcoxon 22nd November 1841 abode Forestgate St
so Ellen did die when Arthur was 3

Thomas Wilcoxon married Elizabeth A Walley at Holy Trinity,Chester in 1870 - so we presume they had been living together since before 1861 census ?
this looks like the death of Thomas
1875  ..  WILCOXON   Thomas   71   Chester Castle   Cheshire West   CAS/35/85

Hello,
There is a tree on Ancestry that has an Arthur Wilcoxon married to Mary Elizabeth Lindop.
(She is on the 1871 as the barmaid at the public house where Arthur is publican in Chester.)

Arthur is noted as dying on 23 May 1912, in Liverpool, New South Wales.
There is a son Walter Louis Wilcoxon born 1882. NSW
His death 28 August 1948 in Carlton NSW

It has records for the son, his wife and children but they are Australian and I do not have a worldwide subscription, so I do not know how correct this is.

Hope it helps.

Wow, I had wondered about that, and had followed Mary Lindop up.
I thought I`d found her married to someone else.

 Hope some one can elaborate on this. Many thanks.

PS, Thomas and Elizabeth had a son they named Walter Frank , born in 1860.
