I've been looking at that record for a while as well

We have him as a beamer in 1881 and a vocalist in 1891. That one is a general labourer. Nothing on the 1911 index but dies in Fylde RD in 1914.
I've even checked Isle of Man and Ireland just in case

The only other thing that I can think of is that he was a boarder and got missed off the form.
The info from his death cert is the only other lead that I can think of.
