Please PM me further details if you can, Surname, address/Street.

Found nothing under Pearl Warehouse in usual sources. 1911 is pushing it a bit for me, I'm only any use to anyone up to 1901, but I'll have a look for you.

Oh, and Welcome to SH, known for a friendly welcome and a "we'll do our best for you attitude".

There will be more "Pearl" inspired details (i.e. older than are directly of interest when looking for a 15 year old relative in about 1911) but here are details of

Charles Garratt, Pearl Button manufacturer

1911 (White's) Chester Lane, home 149 Fitzwilliam Street

1919 and 1925 Back of 23 Broomspring Lane.

[From the website, not me asking "Could this be him" about your female relative - RichardB]

Could this be him on the 1881 census. Seems to be the only one named TOM rather than THOMAS born Sheffield.

My Grandfather who was born in 1864 was originally described as a "Pearl and Ivory Setter". Then in later census's as a "Knife Hafter". Therefore I would imagine that a Pearl Warehouse would supply materials to make cutlery handles.
