  Notes	Mayor of Sandwich 1750 and 1756 Earliest generation John Bradly (1718?-1758) John Bradly was born circa 1717-18 based on a monumental inscription found in St Clements Church at Sandwich. . At this time a record of his baptism has not been located John was a Surgeon and a Jurat for Sandwich Town . . A Jurat is the sworn holder of a particular office, or an official in front of whom affidavits are sworn to be correct It appears that the couple had at least 8 children although the first four children all died very young. The St Clement’s Registers of Baptisms and Burials record : This is the only reference I have found to John being a surgeon. During the period that John could have been a surgeon (probably 1738 his skills would likely have been used for fast amputations and surgery to major organs (removing bladder stones, cancers, and even cataracts from the eye) without the benefit of anaesthesia . Control of bleeding and treating for infection would have been important skills for a successful surgeon. Surgical advance and development of techniques was rapid in this period together with reporting and sharing of information. It is unclear in what capacity John may have been employed however this was a period of conflict and injuries from military combat were numerous. The death of John meant that in July 1758 Mary Bradly had a family of three sons : William aged 6 years, John aged 2 years, and Stephen aged 3 months respectively. It appears these sons went on to prosper so it would seem that Mary had the resources and the determination to see her remaining children thrive. Mary died at the end of March 1776.

  	It is useful to note that at this time the Julian calendar was in use and for the purpose of recording events in the Parish Registers the practice adopted was to record the year from Lady Day or Feast of the Annunciation (25 March) to Lady Day. Lady Day was effectively New Years Day for administrative purposes. This means that in the context of the above event it was recorded as 17 February 1714 when by our modern Gregorian calendar we would have recorded the event as occurring in the year 1715. The practice appears to have changed in 1753 with the introduction of the Gregorian calendar we know today
