I have footnoted
known BRADFORDs and other names with a focus on the BRADFORDs of County
Louth who appear in Freeholder Records. BRADFORDs from Co. Armagh & Co. Down are also included. PRONI's freeholders
records come from a variety of sources. They include registers of those
who had registered to vote (excluding all those whose land status
prohibited them from voting) as well as poll books which showed the lists
of voters and who they voted for. NOTE: Before 1858, Louth was largely in the Diocese of Armagh.

PRONI Freehold
Records for BRADFORD
http://www.proni.gov.uk/freeholders/search.asp
Freeholders' records are lists of people entitled to vote, or of people who
voted, at elections. A freeholder was a man who owned his land outright (in
fee) or who held it by lease which could be for one or more lives (for example,
his own life or for the lives of other people named in the lease). From 1727 to
1793 only Protestants with a freehold worth at least 40 shillings a year were
legally permitted to vote. Between 1793 and 1829 both Protestants and Catholics
with 40 shilling freeholds could vote, but in 1829 the franchise level was increased
to 10 pounds, so 40 shilling freeholders were no longer allowed to vote. This
last measure increased the influence of landlords by effectively confining
membership of Parliament to the propertied or monied classes.
