Jonesey you echoed my own thoughts. I've just taken a look at the original transcript and the 'single' has been added afterwards in green ink the same as used on the other notations the enumerator made.
If you haven't got it already then get the marriage certificate. That way we will know what William did for a living , hopefully his age and the name of his father.

Researching:
More in hope than expectation!

Do you have a copy of the marriage certificate of William and Bertha or the birth certificate of one of the children as this will gives Williams occupation - he may have been at sea or working away for the 1901 census. To many William Nortons in 1901 census to find him without further details. Irene
