Easy enough to look at the deaths index at www.scotlandspeople and see if any people with these names died in the Cadder registration district.

14 March 1941, the second night of the Clydebank air raids, an aeroplane crashed close to Cadder.

... 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. 

This map shows Easter Crosshill Farm, near the NE corner:

During the 2nd world war it became the HQ of the Glasgow region barrage balloon operation (RAF).  Shown in outline, but not labelled, here:

The northern part of the site is now a prison.

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.

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.

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.

So if Johnston is right it can't be blamed on the Victorians and it isn't anything to do with rig(g)s.

Hopefully now that they have told you their names, they will tell you what help they need

Perhaps we should all get around an Ouija board and hold hands?

I have already reported this preposterous post of 13th March to the moderator, who, so far, has not responded. If this sort of nonsense is to be allowed on this site, I for one, will be having no part of it.
