Thanks for the info Ernie. I don't suppose you can remember the names of any of the family? My GG Grandad was called Henry and I think it was his brother John William that started the firm. He's variously described in the censuses as a baker, confectioner and sugar confectioner. He had 6 children - Nancy Ellen, William, Richard, Ernest Wilfred, Gertrude and John Emile. In the 1901 Census, Nancy's occupation is given as a milliner and Gertrude as an artist. Richard is a tailor's assistant, William and Ernest are confectioner's travellers and John Emile is a clerk at an ironworks.
