His name is listed in the index of the last Forest of Dean inquest book on page 432, unfortunately this is one of the inquests not yet available (closed under the 75 year access rule).

The fact that there was an inquest could mean that there were some unusual/interesting circumstances to his death and that this was reported in the Dean Forest Mercury. Otherwise you will have to wait until 1/1/2015 for the inquest details.
