There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Bradford, both in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.
He was a colonel in the Seaforth Highlanders and 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 fourth Baronet, in 1954.
The late Baronet was succeeded by his half-brother, the fifth and (as of 2007) present holder of the title.
The heir presumptive to the baronetcy is the current holder's second cousin, Andrew Edward Hanning Bradford (born 1955).
