Bradstreet

A Dublin family, created baronet in July 1759.

Name	Description
Bradstreet	Sir John Bradstreet of Clonsilla, county Dublin, great grandson of Bridget Netterville, inherited part of the Netterville estate in county Galway following the death of Marcella Gerrard in 1865. In the 1870s he is recorded as owning 2,496 acres in county Galway and 37 acres in county Dublin.
Gerrard	The Gerrard family were resident at Gibbstown, near Navan, county Meath, from the late 17th century. In 1822 John Gerrard of Gibbstown married Marcella Netterville. The process whereby Marcella Gerrard eventually came to inherit a large estate in county Galway is well recorded by Charles Synnott. As Marcella Gerrard appears to have died intestate in 1865 there were many claimants to her large real and personal estate, including members of the Davies, Netterville, Lawrence and Fallon families who were all related. The courts eventually decided to divide her county Galway estate into three portions which passed to Arthur James Netterville (8th Viscount), John Fallon and Sir Samuel Bradstreet, descendants of the three sisters of Edmond Netterville. In the 1870s they are recorded as owning 1,713, 2,594 and 2,496 acres respectively in county Galway.
