Bradford baronets of South Audley Street (1902)

The Bradford baronetcy, of South Audley Street in the City of Westminster in the County of London, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 24 July 1902 for Edward Bradford.[1] He was a colonel in the army and served as Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis from 1890 to 1903.

He was succeeded by his second but eldest surviving son, the 2nd Baronet. A colonel in the Seaforth Highlanders, he fought in the First World War, where he was killed in action in September 1914. The baronetcy descended in the direct line until the early death of his great-grandson, the 4th Baronet, in 1954. He was succeeded by his half-brother, recognised as the 5th Baronet,[2] who does not use the title.
