Biography

I was born in Newton Heath on 22 May 1836 and ran a shop in Miles Platting (or Newton Heath), just off the Oldham Road. I began this recipe book in 1861 when I lived at 292 Shakespeare Terrace (see first post). I married John Smith Gradwell on the 30th October, 1862 at All Saints' Church, Newton Heath and I died in 1912 (I think). The receipes (about two hundred of them) are from the original recipe book which has been handed down through a few generations. The early recipes are just lists of ingredients but later ones are more instructive. The later ones are pages long - and there are newspaper cuttings. Handwriting and presumably authors change during the book. I have posted them in the same order as the book. It looks as though the book was written from both ends and some of the more modern recipes are in the middle.
