Some People of the Bradford Hundred

Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire

Unfortunately, Bradford on Avon Museum does not have the records or facilities to supply detailed genealogical information for those who are tracing family histories.

Individuals are named in association with many of the objects in the Museum’s collection, of course and sometimes they are named or can be recognised in some of the old photographs.

The names of many individuals can be found on this website: use the “search this site” facility in the top right corner.
