Families covered: Bradshaw of Bradshaw, Bradshaw (Bradshaw-Isherwood) of Marple, Bradshaw of Windley, Bradshaw of Wyberslegh
[Over the years we have tried a few times to pull together the various Bradshaw families into something in which we could had a good level of confidence. We have not fully succeeded. It is clear that others have tried before us and, like us, were confused by the fact that there were different places called Bradshaw in different counties. Normally we give precedence to later sources over earlier ones but we are aware that that is not always merited. We called a halt to the review on 05.05.24, leaving sundry notes to help others. As always, we are open to suggesions on how to improve what we show.]

| (1) When we first prepared this page (in November 2007), we did so using Ormerod "and extracts from 'The Reliquary' (vol VII, 1866-7)". That reference must have been wrong as, in our review in 2024, we checked that source (here) and could not find those relevant extracts. This is unfortunate not least because it must have been that source which showed this John (a 1425) as son of William of Bradshaw (a 1385) son of Sir Thomas Bradshaw of Bradshaw (a 1339). Note that BLG1886 reports that John "built Bradshaw Hall, near Chapel-en-le-Frith, in the Peak". It is possible that this Bradshaw, in Derbyshire, has been confused with the earlier Bradshaw. It seems that there were different Bradshaw Halls - one in Cheshire, one in Derbyshire, and one in Lancashire. (2) BLG1862 shows John (d 1523, m. Cicely, dau of Thomas Fuljambe of Wyndley) as son of George (a 1400, 2nd son of John Bradshaw of Bradshaw) by the dau/heir of Sir William Skeffington and then reports that John was grandfather of the Henry who m. Elizabeth, dau of Robert Eyre of Hassop. Provisionally, we view that as wrong. Note that BLG1862 then reports that Henry was father (by Elizabeth Curzon) of Richard Bradshaw of Alderwasley and then jumps from that Richard to his great-great-grandson, Henry of Holbrook (m. Ellen Hill, d 1649 (sb 1679)) for whom ## see here ##. (3) BLG1886 identifies John's wife as Cicely, dau/heir of Thomas Folger or Fulsher, heiress of Champeyne Park, in Duffield, and lands in Windley. Ormerod & Visitation name her ... |

| m. Elizabeth Kyrke (dau of Edward Kyrke of Whitehough) | |||||||||||||||

| Ormerod, Visitation & BLG1862 all identify Henry's wife as Elizabeth, dau of Robert Eyre, but BLG1862 suggests that Robert Eyre was 'of Hassop'. We suspect, but have not proved, that Elizabeth was of a different family (as indicated). | |||||||||||||||
