Thank you for this Shaun! The Ancestry tree is mine - the death in 1891 is of Elizabeth Burns (22yrs).
Her mother had started the business of Fancy Goods in Birmingham first and Elizabeth was shown there at Constitution Hill on the April 1891 census. She died 4 months later in 9 Wyndham Arcade, occ "Asistant in Fancy Goods shop". Her mother Sarah was present at the birth, and gives her address as Constitution Hill, Birmingham. So I guessed they must have opened a new shop in Cardiff between April and July as the census tenant was unrelated.
My thought was that Sarah's mother, Elizabeth Davies, was running the new shop, and niece Elizabeth had gone to help her out (she died of TB). Sarah and other family members started further Fancy Goods shops in Weston-super-Mare around the late 1890s, but I wanted to find out if my hunch re her sister carrying on the business in Cardiff for a few more years was correct, and this appears to back it up. I believe the sister carried on at another couple of Cardiff addresses - much later in 1922 her name comes up in an advert for the WSM address, too.

Thank you so much for your help.
