Robert Henderson BRADLEY (1869-1917) was a commercial traveller who was probably visiting Rylstone at the time the quilt was being made. I haven't yet located direct evidence of this but it is likely he represented one of the large Sydney companies that supplied stores in the district. There are a number of other commercial travellers with their names signed on the quilt.
Robert married Annie PRICE (1870-1950) in 1894 and they had one son: Robert Jack BRADLEY (1904-1977).
Robert Jack BRADLEY married Ruth Janet Mary SENDALL (1905-1995) in 1928 and they had three children.
