Recorded as a globemaker at the baptisms of his son William John Sloane (1837-1865) in 1837 and of two younger children. Again recorded as a globemaker on the 1851 census, resident with his wife and four children. His death was registered at Clerkenwell in the second quarter of 1859. His son William John Sloane was recorded as an apprentice globemaker aged twenty-three at 66 Chancery Lane (the premises of the William Newton (see BME 2011) and the Newton family of globemakers) on the 1861 Census.
