Have you looked for him on the 1911 census to get an address etc or establish whether he was still a pawnbroker at that time?

He married and died in Salford so clearly did not continue as a pawnbroker in Sheffield

1901 age 15 he was described as a "pawnbroker's assistant" so I would imagine he was a kind of errand boy and wouldn't think his name would appear in directories
