Many Thanks for those Links Roger, - much appreciated.
Yes, I had found that Newspaper Article, - there are about three entries that I found concerning my Grandfather. There's one in The South Wales Daily News for 30th July 1898, where a 10yr old girl, Margaret Harris, was accused of stealing a hat and two spoons(!) from the shop at 113 St Helens Road, Swansea. Another gives details of my Grandfather's Invention, 'The Wilson Air Purifier'.
It was from the 30th July 1898 Article that I realised that there had been a shop at 113 St Helens Road. The Entry from the Kelly's Directory for 1895, on Page 1130 lists William James Wilson of 113 St Helens Road as a Newsagent and Vendor.
For some reason, I can't make the Link that you've posted open at that page! (Very frustrating). However, I have it in my notes.
(It would seem that The Historical Directories Site has gone, but The University of Leicester has taken over the resource. I will keep trying to open it at the right page).
The Link that you posted says that William James Wilson started in business in 1893, and so I'm wondering if that's when he first opened a shop. On my eldest Uncle's Birth Cert, in June 1894, 113 St Helens Road seems to have been known as '4 Leslie Terrace', and so I'm wondering if thats the Address I should be searching under.
Many Thanks,
Romilly.
