A biosketch of Henry Bradshaw reported [1]:
1516 On 20th September, 8 Henry VIII. (1516), Henry Bradshawe was a party to a deed of settlement of lands lying in Trumflete, Co. York, on the issue of Edward Knottesford and Alice Bradshaw, but there is nothing to show whether or not Alice was his daughter. Her husband probably belonged to the Knottesfordes of Knottesford (Knutsford), co. Chester, a member of which family, Ellen, daur. and co-heir of Roger Knottesford, married as his 2nd wife Roger Jodrell of Veardsley, co. Chester, a near neighbour of the Bradshawes, who died Feb. 1548. In 1519,11 17th April, a power of attorney was granted to Nicholas Bradshawe, of Chapelle-in-le-Frith; Robt Gee, of Lydeygate ;H and Walter Marchington, to receive seisin of lands which they held of Henry Bradshawe, of Bradshawe, in Bowden. His will, which was made 2nd March, 1521, and proved April 30th, 1523, in the peculiar Court of Bakewell, left the estates to his sons William and Henry in trust for Richard Bradshawe, the sun of his eldest son John, a minor, with instructions that until he was twenty-one he was to be kept at school if possible. The Turncroft and Broadmarches were to provide the jointure for his widow.
Henry Bradshawe married Elizabeth, the daughter of Robert Eyre, who was the second son of William Eyre, of North Lees, near Hathersage,* himself the second son of Nicholas Eyre, of Hope. She survived him, and died about 1537, as shewn by the lease of the Turncrofts mentioned below.
