Like his cousin Cyril Brayshaw, Ted Brayshaw was born at Bobeyan where the Brayshaws and Crawfords (his paternal grandmother's family) had lived since the 1840s. His family moved from the High Forest (at the southern end of the ACT) to the Murrumbidgee River in about 1905 and it was there that his father died in 1911. His mother married John Luton in 1916 and Brayshaw enlisted soon after, claiming to be eighteen years of age even though he was only seventeen. At the time it was the lead up to the first conscription vote held in October 1916. After a bout of influenza, Brayshaw joined the 55th Battalion and was sent to the recruitment camp at Liverpool near Sydney where he was released from the army for being under age.
After the war Brayshaw returned to the Bobeyan district and lived in the old Crawford homestead. He married Roma Oldfield from Naas on 22 December 1932 and they moved to Orroral in 1935 when Brayshaw began working for Andy Cunningham. Two years later Brayshaw became manager at Gudgenby. Brayshaw retired to Yarra near Goulburn and died there on 5 June 1985.
