Generation: 1

  1. 1.  Henry Bradshaw died 1654.

    Notes:

     

    This family were Purtian followers of Oliver Cromwell who had to flee England when the Stuarts retook the throne, or they would have been put to death. They settled in the northern parts of Ireland around 1661.

    "The History of Marple & District", published by Marple Local History Society, devotes a chapter to "The Civil War, Marple and the Bradshaws".

    A family tree shows Henry Bradshaw I (d 1654) had eldest son Henry II (1600 - 1661), John (President of High Court of Justice) (1602 - 1659), and four other children.

    Henry II had son Henry III (1635 - 1698), and 10 other children from two marriages.

    Henry III had sons Henry IV (1666- 1735), Thomas (1672 - 1743), John (1678 - 1741) and daughters Mary and Anne. The sons had no issue, and Mry inherited the estate. She married twice - first William Pimlott, and second Nathaniel Isherwood. It was the issue of the second marriage who eventually inherited the estate, and the family name has since been Bradshaw-Isherwood.

    Notes:

     

    When Charles II was restored to the throne of England most Bradshaws fled, taking refuge in Ireland, Scotland, France and the colonies of North America. This was probably because of the following: One of the most famous Bradshaw families in England was the family of John Bradshaw who became a lawyer in 1627. By 1647 he was Chief Justice of Chester. In 1648 he was presiding over the High Court of Justice that tried and condemned King Charles I. It was Judge Bradshaw who, at the end of the trial, pronounced the King guilty of treason and sentenced him to death "by the severing of his head from his body". They carried out the sentence in the Palace of Whitehall on February 6, 1649. When he died in 1659 he was buried in Westminster Abbey.

    After the Monarchy was restored in 1660, with the return of Charles II from exile in France, Judge Bradshaw's body along with the body of Cromwell, were disinterred, gibbeted and thrown into a pit with other notables. Judge Bradshaw had no children, but one of his brothers, Robert, was a General in Oliver Cromwell's army and following the restoration he and most of his family escaped to the colonies.

    This was not a good time to have the Bradshaw surname.
