According to Wilber's October 1940 World War II draft registration, he was living at 20 Shaw Street in North Weymouth. This would be in ED 11-294 and should be on sheet 1B.

By looking at Google maps, I see that 30 Shaw is part of a 2 family home of 28-30 Shaw. The census taker does appear to have taken the listing for the family in #28 (Charles W Overtt) but not for the family in #30.
It is possible that the Purdy's move to #30 after the census and before October but I have not found evidence of them anywhere else.
