There are a couple of articles under newspapers on FMP. Unfortunately I don’t have the grade of subscription to allow me to read them but someone else on here might be able to help you with more detail.

I wonder where you got that name and address from?
The Percy Frederick seems to have had a police record. I wonder if its his wife that is from Sheffield. I can't seem to zero in on him even on the 1921 census.

Thank you Claire! I have a subscription to FMP but hadn’t thought to look through newspapers, so I’ll definitely do that!

Thanks again, Elaine. The name and address of her employer was shown on her 1921 census entry.

Percy only figures in the Quarter Sessions records because he was often the victim of theft (being a jeweller). His shop was at 4 London Road in 1909. In 1911 he formed Towns and Company with A.H.Denton as a business in warehousing, factoring, manufacture and dealing in hardware, watches, clocks, jewellery etc. This company was wound up in September 1913.
