  1. 1.  Robert De Bradshaw was born 1250, England; died Mar 1293/94, England.

    Notes:

     

    I think almost everyone now believes that the name Bradshaw is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and means "broad wood", "broad glade", or an open slope within in a wooded grove...or some variation thereof. The geographical location of the first Bradshaws seems to be the village of Bradshaw, on Bradshaw brook, a few miles north of Bolton-le-Moors, above Manchester..in Lancashire. The earliest Bradshaw I have been able to identify (in documents at the British Library) is Ughtred de Bradshaw (also spelt Bradshagh, Bradsea, Bradshaigh, Bradeschagh, etc) who was living circa 1186.

    The site of the first Bradshaw Hall, built about 1185 a.d., is now a tract of new homes, named appropriately "Bradshaw Hall". The last Bradshaw Hall on the site was demolished in 1948, having been determined to be in a ruinous condition. The arched porch still stands at the entrance to the housing tract and is carefully preserved by the local council of Bolton and Bradshaw village. The Bradshaw coat-of-arms, two bendlets sable or a shield of silver, is carved above. Furniture and other items removed from the Hall in 1948 are preserved in the "Bradshaw Room" at Turton Tower Museum, nearby.

    The name "Ughtred" is of Saxon origin, and means "early to counsel". There were several Ughtreds (also spelt Hurard, Uctred, etc), the first (who did not carry the "de Bradshaw" or "of Bradshaw" surname) was, apparently, living near Preston, Lancashire at the time of the Norman Conquest in 1066. He was a "King's Thane", that is an trusted retainer of the Saxon King, and he probably held his office by guarding the King's hunting preserve because he is sometimes called "Forester" or "King's Sergeant". He or his son, or grandson, had a brother named Alan de Bradshaw, who held lands in Harwood, near Bradshaw Village. One early descendant was Robert de Bradshaw, a Crusader who died under the wall at Acre, in the Holy Land, circa 1189 a.d....

    Another branch of the family resided in Derbyshire, commencing circa 1226 or earlier, and another Bradshaw Hall still stands on the hillside, near Chapel-en-le-Frith, Derbyshire. It was rebuilt in 1620-1630 on the site of an earlier hall, and is currently occupied as a private residence.

    Other Bradshaw Halls at in Pennington, Lancashire, and Cheshire.

    Other branches appeared at an early date in Staffordshire and Cheshire.
