Bradbury Crest

 


 

Origin

The above image is from James Bradbury, Long Eaton, Nottingham, UK, Oct 1999: "I got the Crest from the official Coat of Arms and Crest book here at the local Family history Club library, I did not send you any Coat of Arms as there are indeed many different one's in the Bradbury family, the Crest was listed as I said as the GENERAL Bradbury Crest, no mention was made of it belonging to the Essex Bradbury's."

The image was cleaned up by Jim in Arizona and his daughter Lauren in Tennessee.

From Rudy Bradbury, received the following:
