Was he married or single? 

His name is probably mistranscribed, what occupation did he have?
Hinchliffe - Huddersfield Wiltshire
Burroughs - Arlingham Glos
Pick - Frocester Glos

He is missing at their address in 1921?

I used their Son on the 1911 Census to find the family in 1921:-
1911 - Thomas Henry Tobutt, 2, born Eastcote, Middlesex

1911
Algernon Harry Tobutt, 32, Ruislip, Middlesex.

ADDED:

I have just noticed that you have found the Hackleton address.

An Algernon and an Ellen Tobutt appear together at Great Lane, parish of Hackleton on the Electoral Register from 1920-1926 - unbroken.
A change occurs 1927-1930 when an Ellen appears with a Henry Tobutt, Stanford Road, Cold Ashby.

I wonder if he was in an institution somewhere? His military records (one as Henry Algernon, one as Henry) says he was discharged in Jan 1915 suffering from neurasthenia (aka shellshock). Definitely him - correct family and place of birth

That makes the absent voter records a bit odd - except it appears he joined up again in November 1915 as there's  further records on Ancestry

Algermin Henry Tobutt
Rank    Private
Birth Date    1879
Residence Place    Huckelton Northants
Discharge Date    12 Mar 1919
Service Number    35696
Corps, Regiment or Unit    Northamptonshire Regiment

Discharged under IIIc -

Appears to be going under Henry on the later electoral rolls.

He's certainly gone under the radar in '21
