Many thanks to all - eventually got there and found his name listed in Whites Directory 1911.

Hi hillsbro - many thanks for your help! I see you have picked up very quickly on "the story so far" - ie detail about the Ward family in 1911. Can I just ask - was there a 1911 Whites directory - I thought I'd seen one mentioned for Sheff&rotherham businesses in 1911, but as I have mentioned I could not access it properly. I wonder why she states that she is a Confectioner in 1911 census, if in fact she had closed the shop down by that date? Thanks.

Hi - Do you have any info on shops in existence in Percy St circa 1911 - owners name = Ward - Confectioners? Thanks.

Hi - apparently my grannie lived at 18 Percy St (Neepsend area) back in 1911. Her mother owned a confectioners shop apparently (I assume this was address of the shop too) - name was Ward. Trying to throw a bit more light on this/looking for more info - can't seem to use White/Kelly Directories and get any sort of result. Can anyone help please? Thanks
