To find the Cause of death you will need to purchase a death certificate.

Do you know when he died in Redruth?

Is this the death?

Marriage to Ann Daws Maddern was in 1900, can be seen on 1911 in Newlyn with the 3 children.

If that is the death there is a very long obituary
Cornishman 04 November 1925
He met his death under tragic circumstances at Nancemelling, Gwithian for the Cornwall Electric Power company.

Father in law is mentioned - Mr S Maddern

What a brilliant newspaper obituary, including description of coffin, but because so many people are named.
