Well, it doesn't make sense to enter a property where there is no-one living in it ....
The Burgess Rolls, of course, are an Electoral Register so wouldn't be any point in listing it if nobody was in permanent residency. Perhaps the ones listed as 'empty or unoccupied' were domestic properties only and not business premises ?
There again, could have been half-day closing when they did the census ...
Would there be anything in the Barrett's Directories ?
