James Bradshaw

MP for Brackley 1825-1832. Son-in-law and trustee and executor of John Blagrove (q.v.); son of Robert Haldane Bradshaw, the agent of the Duke of Bridgewater and Cornelia Thornhill Rowe; nephew and co-residuary heir of Capt. Thomas Rowe of Barbados (q.v.); and nephew of Augustus Hill Bradshaw (q.v.), with whom (together with Hugh Parkin, another son-in-law of Blagrove), James Bradshaw was reportedly awarded the compensation for 198 enslaved people in Hanover, Jamaica. However, James Bradshaw committed suicide in 1833. James Bradshaw appears in only one of the awards to Blagrove's executors and trustees, possibly in error.
