My first port of call, if you have not already done so, would be the Somerset Heritage Centre searching for "Weston-super-Mare Gas".  However, at first glance I can't see any employee records.  I would contact them with your query.  Tel: 01823 278805 Email: somersetarchives@swheritage.org.uk  In more normal times when the North Somerset Archivist is able to visit Weston Library they can bring documents to Weston if you can not get to Taunton.

The National Archives catalogue has a collection of records including some of the Somerset Archives ones.

I noticed that some early records had been removed from the Somerset Archives to the National Gas Archive  It might be worth contacting them to see if they can help.  email:  archive@nationalgrid.com 

Let us know how you get on.

Thank you Richard. This is really useful information as not only does it show Harriet as a widow still living there 7 years after husbands death, it also notes Alexander, one of the brothers operating as a butcher in West Street (something I already knew).

Thank you Bill. This is the correct property.

Thank you Pat. Yes that’s the correct house highlighted.

This is from Kelly's directory of Somerset from 1897. 

You can view and download a number of directories from around this time in searchable pdf format from a special collection at the University of Leicester:

I hope this may be helpful.

In 1915 No 5 was Hamilton House and was occupied by a Miss Maddicks, No 7 was Buckingham Villa. I believe the properties above Prince Consorts Gardens were in Kewstoke Road not South Road
