Milson has proved elusive in the Gloucestershire area . I just this very week received the information of him on the 1861 census. I am wondering what happened to his parents and any documentation on his parents prior to Milson's birth.
... the Campbells, lived at Crosshill farm which was close to Jelly hill. I've just received a copy of a letter from a nephew to my Great grandfather, dated 1946, and it mentions Jelly hill in it.
I would suspect that there is no evidence to show that it really was Bishop's Bridges. "Bishop Bridges" was probably an affectation taken from the local Scots dialect and put into Victorian English, of what they perceived it should be.According to James B Johnston's Place Names of Scotland, it appears in a document in 1665 as Bishop Bridge and in 1666 as Bishop Brigs.
However, there is two possibilities for the original Bishopbriggs. The lands of Cadder did indeed belong to the Bishop of Glasgow since the mediaeval ages.
1. possiblity as established the Bishop bridge or brigg over the Kelvin water, or was it the Callieburn?.
2. possibility is Bishop Riggs. Riggs as in runrigs the lengths of arable lands for farming, that was in use prior to enclosed farming after the 18th century.
