    You could try the Aberdeen trades directories here:

    The online catalogue of the Aberdeen City & Aberdeenshire Archives has reference to an 1899 building warrant for granite works on the south side of Balmoral Road; applicant, Alex Wilson and Sons (granite merchants); architect: Duncan Hodge; date of decision: 9 March 1899 (ref. BW/5079) and a 1901 building warrant for an addition to granite works on Balmoral Road, applicant Alex Wilson & Sons, granite merchants; architect A. Wilson & Sons, granite merchants; date of approval, 28 Nov 1901 (ref. BW/6011).

    You should be able to find 1891, 1901 and 1911 census returns on Scotland's People.
