A working document
Devolution of Bradbourne according to previous historians (with sovereigns)
   
It is always important to remember that the owner of the property is not always the occupant.  Do not fall into the trap of supposing that all the following were necessarily associated with Bradbourne.  This is a list of all those people alleged to have been associated with the estate by previous historians as well as myself.  The early owners are much in dispute.  Historians have not always been careful and have sometimes muddled estates with similar names.  As time passes and I work through my notes I will revise the following list.
