William is away from home (fishing maybe?) but his wife, Mary (Flaws) Burgess, and children are living next door to his parents, or possibly in the same croft.

William Burgess and wife Mary (Flaws) Burgess are still living next to his parents.  He is now listed as a carpenter, so seems to have given up fishing.
