To respect their privacy, I have only one comment to highlight. Having sired three daughters, my father is now the last living male of this once proud and highly respected family of Bath, whose known beginnings back in the 18th century led to (1) the design and construction of Milsom Street, (2) in the 19th century a leading organist of Bath Abbey and (3) in the 20th century the music and pianoforte sellers C Milsom & Son in Northgate Street (ceased trading in 2011). Whilst the name lives on with his daughters, sadly it is the end of the line for the Milsom's of Bath. |
