Notes

Maker of recorders and oboes. Halfpenny (1959) relates that Bradbury 'was an almost exactly contemporary of Stanesby I ... beside whom he worked for five years as a fellow apprentice in the workshop of Thomas Garrett, their master'. However, the Turners’ records say nothing about how long Bradbury remained an apprentice of Garrett. They show only that Stanesby had been apprenticed for about a year and a half before Bradbury arrived.
