I cannot find any of them in 1881 or later censuses; and this would seem to be this William's death (the fact the informant and place was the same as for the Ann Potter who died a few months later, and was shown as the widow of William Potter, indicates the deaths were of a couple William and Ann and I don't believe there was another couple in Teignmouth so named):

Details from death register entry (GRO copy)
The informant was Anna Craze, present at the death, who was resident in Albion Place. She was also the informant for the death of William's wife a few months later. Was she a neighbour or was she a nurse taking care of Ann and William? The year after the deaths in the census Anna Craze was living with her husband and son in Albion Place. While Willian and Ann could have been lodging with the Crazes I suspect they were neighbours and Anna was (officially i.e. paid or unofficially) helping out.
