Randall appears to have gone into a decline sometime between the 1841 & 1851
censuses. In the 1841 census he appears as a Linen Draper and he was also recorded
in the Westminster Poll Book of the same year. By 1851 he was no longer a Draper,
and by the time of his death he was in the Workhouse, the cause of death on his
Death Certificate :-
"Habitual drunkeness Prostration after drinking chloric ether".
However being in the workhouse at death does not necessarily mean that he was
destitute, as they also served as hospitals/infirmarys.
He was married to Elizabeth YOUNG on 8 Mar 1825 in St. Andrew, Holborn, London1.
37. Elizabeth YOUNG was born about 1796 in St. James,
Westminster, London4. She died on 25 Nov 1862 in Westminster, Mdx3.
