William later moved to Scotland. The 1921 census for Melrose, Fife records him at Ravenswood Lodge, aged 66. He is a widower and is working as a gardener; his birthplace is given as Torquay. The only other person in the household is 65-year-old Mary Scott, who is a housekeeper. Her relationship to William is not stated, nor is it clear where she is working.
