Initially a builder with his father, William moved to London after his marriage; by 1901 census had moved out to Kingston-on-Thames, Surrey. He became the chief housing estates surveyor to London County Council.
In 1915 he was recorded in the Crediton Voter's list by virtue of his property owning status, though his residence is shown as 21 Kingston Hill, Kingston on Thames. He was recorded as owning St Martin's, Ivy Cottage, 1 Western Road and Cockles Lane!
