What does the 1921 census say about his occupation or place of employment?

[Radcliff]

I may have just found another clue,
Robert Gunning charged with vagrancy , in Staincross 15th July 1907, sleeping in an outhouse, it states he lives in Barrow In Furness, which is where his brother George lived , so the jigsaw pieces are slowly coming together

in 1921 it States he is born Workington aged 49 years and 11 months, his occupation is Puddler, living 27 Morriss St Sheffield

See above reply - it's him😂

thanks CaroleW why I doubt my own intuition is daft hahahha thanks everyone for coming to my aid, Iv been pondering on this all day ,

I cannot find a Morriss Street, but the 1939 register gives Mons Street, which I have found on the map, in the industrial east end of the city.  There were a number of large steel works there, is there an employer's name in 1921?

See 1921 OS revisions:

Mons Street is against the top edge, just east of centre.

This is the next sheet to the north:

It is definitely Mons Street

Earlier OS editions show Mons Street had been renamed from Blucher Street, presumably after WW1.

This side-by-side is 1954 with house numbers AND modern Open Street Map.
