Research Notes
There appears to have been another Richard Coker in Islington in this period, who was also a chimney sweep. See records below:
1871 Census, Islington: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1871%2F0001718256
1881 Census, Islington: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1881%2F0001283274
1891 Census, Islington: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBC%2F1891%2F0001360528
He has a different wife and children, and was born in Aylesbury, so appears to be a different person (or the same person a 2nd family).
Means the death may be of this personinstead: Death, registered at Islington Q4 1898: https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=BMD%2FD%2F1898%2F4%2FAZ%2F000070%2F096
No sign of him with the children profiled in any census found in a search on findmypast.
