Catalogue Note: John Bradley (1790-1856) and Ann Knapton (c. 1800-1857) married on November 15, 1819 in Harewood, York, England. According to the 1851 English Census, the couple was living in Shipley, Yorkshire, England and had at least six children. They are buried at St. Paul Churchyard in Shipley along with two of their sons. The maker of this memorial could potentially be one of their daughters, Ann or Frances, who would have been respectively around 20 and 18 years old when their mother died. Another candidate could be an unidentified granddaughter.
