If you can access find my past (possibly in your local library)  and search for Yockelson in the section headed Institutions and Organisations you will find several entries for him.

There is an entry in the Police Gazette 18 January 1918 stating that Alfred Yockleston was remanded at West London Police Court charged with stealing jewellery from lodgings and obtaining money by fraud. Aliases Staff Sergeant Wilson, and Alfred Robea Yockelson.

This man seems to change his name from Alfred John Yockelson to Frederick Norris - can you see any of this in those listings.  Did it say where he was staying when he stole the jewellery - thanks for your help in this I am very grateful
