Biography

Baptised 15th March 1829 in Kirkby Stephen. Son of Anthony & Agnes Bradley, Kirkby Stephen. Anthony was a common brewer at the time of baptism.

Living with parents in 1841 census, at Linster Street in Hulme in Chorlton district (in Manchester, but south of the Medlock river).

For the 1851 census, both parents had died, but the family are still mainly together in Hulme, in an un-numbered house on the street called Abbey Grove, with William now head of household. He was described as a 22 year old agent for stocks and fancy goods.

He married Lavinia Boulton Murgatroyd in the 2nd qtr of 1858 in Chorlton district (8c/530). This certificate says that the marriage happened 19 May 1858 after banns, William being 29, and Lavinia being 22, both previously unmarried and living in "Albertgrove". William's father was Anthony, a brewer, while Lavinia's was Benjamin, and a farmer. One of the witnesses was George Murgatroyd, and the other seems to be Joshua Anderson Sutter?

The 1861 census shows him with his own family still in Greater Manchester but a bit further out of the congested area at 4 Moss Lane West, Stretford, in the registration district of Barton-Upon-Irwell (a much bigger district than Barton upon Irwell itself).

William John Bradley died in Barton upon Irwell, 2nd quarter 1863 (8c/354). This corresponds to a burial 5 May 1863 All Saints, Chorlton on Medlock. William John Bradley, 34 years old, had been living at 4 Gladstone Street, Stretford. The death certiicate says he died 1 May 1863, at 4 Gladstone Street, Stretford. He was a 34 year old "agent for sale of carpet bags". He died after 3 months of Phthisis, and Lavinia B Bradley was present at the said address at the time.
