If he and his wife had any children, she was not identified in the 1891 or subsequent censuses with any children.  There are several Bartholomew births in Suffolk/Cambs from 1881 to 1887.

Later: I obtained a birth certificate for a John Langrish Bartholomew who turned out to be born in Mangate St, Swaffham on 10 May 1883 to William and Ellen Rachel, William being a Hotel Keeper.  )Stroke of luck!)

He was not found in any subsequent census and this looks like his death:
