As the son of John Bradshaw, yeoman of Ingatestone, Essex, he signed in 1721 to be the apprentice of Robert Sly (Grimwade p.347) of the Clockmakers Company. He was free in 1736.
He had entered a mark in 1734 at Goldsmiths’ Hall as a small worker from Puddle Dock Hill.
John Moor of London in 1746, Edward Leeming (Grimwade p.293, 335) in 1754, William Thomas of St Martin in the Fields in 1762 and Robert Devitt (Grimwade p.316) in 1764 all signed indentures to be his apprentices.
Page 69 of Watchmakers and Clockmakers of the World lists Edward Bradshaw as free in the Clockmakers Company at Johnson’s Court until 1773 and dead around 1777.
The burial of an Edward Bradshaw aged 69 years, late of Braynes Row, registered in 1777 at St James, Clerkenwell may be relevant.
