Hi
Before it closed in the 1970s, Bath Market was in Walcot Street, just north of the present-day Hilton Hotel. The site is now mainly a car park, although the Cornmarket building survives. I don't know if it was on the same site in 1830, but it was certainly there by 1855 when the Cornmarket was built.
There was also the covered market next to the Guildhall, which is still in existence.
Pictures of both here:

This seems to be his baptism, showing his family lived at Milk Street at the time (very close to Avon Street).

For Charlotte they were at No. 27 Milk Street, Daniel No. 17, Matthew 27.)
