How old was he? He could have been resident in Almshouses, or something similar, where the occupants were called Residenters.

I saw a parish register for a marriage in Glasgow 1820 and it stated the husband was "residenter there" His occupation was a weaver. No addresses were given, just names, dates & occ.

Webster's Third New International Dictionary defines 'residenter' as 'resident or inhabitant'.
It would be used in conjunction with an occupation to indicate that the person both worked and lived at the place concerned.
