• Notes

  Anderson and Threlfall (citation details below) say "said to have d. 1489, and certainly d. by 1510." They also say he is "said to have" married Anne Wyant, daughter of Infans Wyant. Note that the 1890 Bradbury Memorial (citation details below) marks the Wyant connection with a "said to have" as well. Writing later on his own in The Ancestry of Thomas Bradbury (citation details below), John Brooks Threlfall also dismisses, as chronologically impossible, the entries in various visitation pedigrees that show this Robert Bradbury having married Joan, daughter of Sir John FitzWilliams and widow of Thomas Bendish. Also in The Ancestry of Thomas Bradbury, Threlfall notes that the source for his claimed death date of 1489 is the records made from the monuments in the crypt of the Grey Friars monastery in London, where Robert Bradbury was buried. The monuments themselves were destroyed in the reign of Edward VI, but the records survived. However, also surviving is a writ of Diem Clausit Extremum issued on 18 Dec 1500 to Robert Bradbury, Gentleman, Hertford, Essex, London, so it seems clear that the Grey Friars record is wrong and that Bradbury lived to 1500.
