James Bradshaw (15 April 1786 - 18 September 1833) was Member of Parliament for the constituency of Brackley from 1825 to 1832.
[2] He joined the Royal Navy in 1805, becoming a commander in the following year and a captain in 1808.
On 18 September of that year he was found dead at his father's residence, Worsley Hall.
An inquest into his death was told that he had been suffering from ill-health since his time in the navy, especially violent fits of indigestion for which he would take large doses of medication without any medical advice.
The inquest jury returned a verdict of insanity.
