Available information for the armorial bearings of gentlemen who bore the name Bradley is somewhat limited but according to Burke's General Armory there are 16 individuals of the name who were armigers - only one of those is recorded as having arms "of Ulster" and that does not correspond to your description. One entry (which gives no indication of Country or indeed which armiger they belonged to) simply records:
Bradley, or Bradeley. Gules a chevron Argent, between three boars' heads couped Or. Crest: A boar Sable bristled and hoofed Or, gorged with a garland Vert.
I suspect that the origins of the document you describe lie in the sphere of bucket shops simply because you state that it has the "surname origins" included. I know of no genuine grant or exemplification of arms which would include any mention whatsoever of surname origins. Many, though not all, grants of arms are detailed as to the genealogy of the grantee which, if you had this detail, would assist you in ascertaining whether or not you were descended from the original grantee, as you must be in order to claim any right to the arms in question.
Good luck in your search.
