32 BRADSHAW HALL AND THE BRADSHAWES. 



Bagshawe,* by whom she had a son, John, mentioned in his 

 unrle Godfrey's entail deed, 1570. 



II. — Margaret, hornf loth July, 1539. 



I. — Godfrey Kradshawe, eldest son and heir, was horn 15th 

 September, 1531.+ He is brought upon the scene, before he is 

 of age, by the troubles arising from a too early marriage. At 

 what date he married Margaret, the daughter of Roger Howe, 

 of Ashop, his distant cousin through the Eyres, it is impossible 

 to say, but as early as 1550 he and his wife are quarrelling like 

 the children they undoubtedly were, and after ineffectual 

 attempts " to cause them to continue lovingly together as man 

 and wife," their respective parents took the necessary legal pro- 

 ceedings to separate them,§ so that each of them might be 

 enabled to marry again. After they were divorced Godfrey 

 Hradshawe did not go far afield for a second wife, for he married, 

 about 1554, Emma, the daughter of Anthony Shalcrosse, of 

 Shalcrosse,|| Co. Derby, and Shallcross Hall is not more than 

 two miles away. She is mentioned in her brother Leonard's 

 will^ as " my sister, Em^ Bradshawe," to whom he left ;^io. 



Soon after the death of Godfrey's father a lease was executed, 

 namely, on the 2nd February, 1562, "by Margaret, relict of 

 William Bradshawe, of Brad.shawe, tO' Godfrey Bradshawe, her 

 son, of her dower in the Ville of Bawdon called Bradshawe, 

 and in Turncroft, Co. Derby, as also in Blyda (Blythe), 

 Co. Notts." 



In 1568 a lease of lands in " Maynstonfields alias Chynley " 

 was executed by him in favour of his brother, Anthony 

 Bradshawe. The deed is between Godfrey Bradshawe, of 

 Bradshawe, on the one part, and Anthony Bradshawe, of the 

 Inner Temple, his brother, on the other part, and Francis 

 and Leonard Bradshawe, his own sons, Henry Bradshawe and 

 Edward Bradshawe of Tounscroft, are witnesses.
