Individual Details
Margaret WELSH
(Abt 1829 - 22 Nov 1884)
Margaret's sister Jane went to Australia twice by sailing ship, the first time to the Victorian goldrush.
Branthwaite Brow, where Margaret lived at the time of her death, is a steep, narrow and cobbled throughfare, connecting the market place with the bottom of Finkle Street. It is a short street, containing the George and Dragon inn, the Chocolate House, two jewellers and the Unitarian Chapel. On the South side of the brow, there is a row of buildings with a strange external wall. These buildings today house a picture shop, a jewellers and a sandwich shop. The walls are made from cast iron plates, and were designed to take up as little room as possible in the newly widened street. As of June\July 2010, the whole facade of the building has been re-painted and looks absolutely fantastic.
Margaret operated a bakery and confectionery shop from the Chocolate House/Shop from 1871 (see photo).
