Valuation Rolls
46 West Bridgend was a tenement owned by Walter Scott.
The only commercial unit was a stable rented by James Higgins, a butcher.

If you are looking for Bridgeton that is the name of the station.

When you click on the link select Valuations.  Enter his name and select Dunbarton County and hit enter.

Walter purchased and sold a lot of properties in the county from 1855-1920.

By the time of the 1920 valuation rolls, a Mrs Alice Scott is showing as the proprietor.

As Don has mentioned, the building was a tenement with multi occupancy. Mary Mullan could have been working at any of the households at that address as a domestic servant and will not show on the VRs.
