Edmund Bradley married Margaret Anne Haswell at St John, Hackney in 1828. They had moved to Hereford by the time Gustavus Alfred was born in 1838, where Edmund had a piano and music warehouse. Margaret was described as a Professor of Music. By 1861 the family had moved to Colne House, 173 High St Watford, and it is clear from Edmund's account book that he was a man of property and had many other investments. Four, possibly five, of Margaret's brothers and one sister emigrated to America, setting up business as printers, as their father George Haswell had been. Edmund died in 1879, and Margaret in 1899, there is a memorial to them in Watford cemetery.
