Margaret had been living with Henry Cole and family
since they had lived in St Pancras. She moved with the Cole family
to Shepherds Place Kennington in 1871 and it was from here that she
met her future husband George Bradford. He had just become widowed
following the death of his wife Lucy.
Margaret you remember was George and Margaret
Aitchison daughter, Henry Cole was her brother in law through his
marriage to her sister Jessie, and she was George Musgrove's aunt.
At the time of her marriage she was 51.
The couple shortly moved to 1 Ingleborough Street Brixton. The area
was completely redeveloped during the 1960's The map below left from
1946 shows the immediate area with Ingleborough Street running between
Ingleton Street and Thornton Street. The map below right is a present
day arial view. By comparing the two maps you can see that the original
housing has been replaced by an open park. The photo at the bottom
is of Thornton Street viewed from near its junction with Brixton
Road. Ingleborough Street is the first turning on the right in the
picture. This is included as a general representation of the houses
in the area as no photographs of Ingleborough Street are known to
exist.....................................................Home | George's
