Not your family, but you may be related somewhere along the line.

Looking at the original it is Prout

Looking at the original it is Prout

Agree.
There's this marriage:

Dec 1868
Trout  Mary Jane     Stoke D  5b 615
On the same page:

CRAGO  Richard    Stoke D.  5b 615
Gibson  Arthur     Stoke D  5b 615 
Thomas  Maria     Stoke D  5b 615
Richard Crago appears to have married Maria Thomas (1871 census) 
Can't see Mary Jane with Arthur Gibson yet.

I think this is Mary Jane Gibson in 1881:
RG11; Piece: 79; Folio: 76; Page: 32

The 1889 death found by Liz for Francis Trout fits well age wise. I can't see hide nor hair of Francis in 1881. As he was a seaman in 1861 it is possible he was away at sea in 71 and 81.
