Thank you .Yes that is the one .I had presumed that he had died later than 1914. There appears to be another William Perkins in Barnsley who was the Landlord of the The Commercial Inn at a later date, that is why I originally did not think he had died in 1914. Thanks David


DC will hopefully confirm the right person.

Possible for the other William?
