It is of some interest to print for the first time a quaint Bradshaw
pedigree, which is an exact copy of one in my own possession, in the
handwriting of Anthony Bradshaw; it was too much worn to permit of
reproduction in facsimile.
Several of his twenty-three children settled in the neighbourhood,
not only at Duffield, but at Makeney, Idridgehay, and Belper, and the
Duffield registers[51] record their existence during the whole of the
seventeenth century.
[51] _Reliquary_, vol. xxiii., p. 134.
Vicesimus, the last of the children recorded on the monument, was
baptized 10th March, 1600, and married Ellen, daughter and heiress
of Richard Fletcher, of Makeney. Their descendants intermarried with
various local families, and one of them married Thos. Ward, curate of
Duffield, early in 1800. Peregrine, born in 1602, after the monument
had been erected, was perhaps one of the best known to the world at
large of this big family. He settled in London, and later on was of
Wymondham, and acted as page to Anne of Denmark, wife of James I., and
afterwards as “Esquire to the body of King Charles I.”[52]

Anthony Bradshawe died 1614. His will was proved on the 3rd May in
that year. He leaves legacies to “Francis Bradshawghe, of Bradshawghe,
Peter and Henry Bradshawghe,” and a ring is left to John Curzon, of
Kedleston, who was father of the first baronet, and ancestor to the
present Lord Scarsdale. Jacynth is the fortunate inheritor of his
signet ring, furniture, books, and MSS.
