W H Burson died in1931 and was living at 27 Willes Rd,Winson Green.Just round the corner from Baccus Rd.Ws this his
shop address?Or perhaps it was in Handsworth New Rd.

As 27 Willes Rd does not appear in the 1929 directory it is almost certain that it a a home address unless it was it was an empty business address that then would not appear in the directory

Thank you for the reply
I wonder if the Kelly guide has a index using names instead of addresses ?

It has both but you have to be a business or a house/home owner to be in it if you rented or were a lodger your name would appear in you imagine the size of the directory if it were to include all of Brum
