Sometime between 1841 and 1851 William either lost or left his tailoring job and moved from Uffculme to Tiverton where he found job as an agricultural labourer. He remained there for the next 20 years continuing to work as an agricultural labourer probably through annual hiring fairs until sometime sometime between 1861 and 1871 he moved to Plymouth and became a chair caner.
