Bradshaw Edge

We’ve received an email from a Godfrey Lomas about his family history.

“Dear Sir, eight years ago I had a stroke and now, as a rehabilitation project, I am trying to trace my family history. One lovely thing about your town is that as a Lomas I would not be a rarity which I am in most other places! In the early 1800s my 5x great grandfather was a butcher and farmer living at Bradshaw Edge but I cannot find this place on any map. Can someone help please? Unfortunately John Lomas at that time was a bit like John Smith.”

Please comment if you have any useful information.
