 he.r, and (.) Elizabeth, who married, ,706, Joshua GalHard of 

 Bury Hall, in Edmonton, Co. Middlesex, and whose son Pierce 

 eventually succeeded to the estates. George Bradshawe was 

 ai.pon.ted Recorder of Doncaster December, 1707, where he 

 'hed, 23rd December, X735. He was buried in the old parish 

 church, now destroyed by fire, in which his widow put up a 

 monumentt in his memory. On his death, intestate, the whole 

 o the estates were inherited by his nephew, Pierce Galliard, 

 nf Bmy Hall, in Edmonton, Co. Middlesex, as heir- 

 at-law. Pierce was the eldest .son of his sister Elizabeth 

 Galhard, and it is through his daughter and co-heir that the 

 estates were transmitted to the present owner and represen- 

 tative of this family. 



It is a curious coincidence that the last official act of George 

 the last Bradshawe, of Bradshaw, of which there is any evidence' 

 was three months before his death to execute a lease, dated r3th 

 September ,735, for eleven years to Robert Low and John 

 Jackson of the old hall of his ancestors, in which it is described 

 as all that capital messuage with the appurtenances lyinc. 

 and be„.g in the parish of Chapel-en-le-Frith commonly called 

 oi^known by the name of Bradshaw Hall."
