http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apostrophe#Possessive_apostrophe
If a singular noun ends with an /s/ or a /z/ sound (spelled with -s, -se, -z,
-ce, for example), practice varies as to whether to add 's or the apostrophe
alone. (For discussion on this and the following points, see below.)
In general, a good practice is to follow whichever spoken form is judged
better: the boss's shoes, Mrs Jones' hat (or Mrs Jones's hat, if that spoken
form is preferred). In many cases, both spoken and written forms differ
between writers.
Similar examples of notable names ending in an s that are often given a
possessive apostrophe with no additional s include Dickens and Williams.
There is often a policy of leaving off the additional s on any such name, but
this can prove problematic when specific names are contradictory (for example,
St James' Park in Newcastle [the football ground] and the area of St. James's
Park in London). For more details on practice with geographic names, see the
relevant section below.
