Default Arthur Day

I’m trying to find out what happened to Arthur Day, who vanishes after 1881.

He was born in Limehouse, Middlesex 23 April 1853, worked as a printer, and married Clara Sophia Church 6 Feb 1875 at St Paul, Bow Common, Middlesex.

They had 2 children that I can find – Charles Christopher Church Day in 1877, and Horace Ernest in 1878.

In 1881 the family are living with Clara’s parents in Limehouse: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...e&pId=15315143

Son Horace died age 5 in West Ham, Essex in 1884.

In 1891 son Charles is in an Industrial School in Islington, but I can’t find Arthur or Clara. https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...ce&pId=7989909

In 1901 I think Clara might be the widow in the London Hospital (who dies soon after age 48). https://www.ancestry.co.uk/imageview...e&pId=17746837

It seems likely Arthur died or otherwise disappeared soon after the 1881 census but I’ve drawn a complete blank in trying to pin him down (and so have all the Ancestry trees he appears on). Can anyone find anything to prove what happened to him?
