We think that this entry relates to James Dodds Wilson was born in Scarborough and was living and working at Heppers Gents Outfitters in 1911.  The household consisted of eight members of the Heppers family, one servant and Arthur Dodd.

This may indicate that Dodd or Dodds was a family name and that James and Arthur were related as they are described as partners and both working on their own account as hairdressers and tobacconists.

We would welcome any further information to either verify or correct our findings.
