Is Milson a common name in the FOD? (General)

You are right that the name Milson can be very helpful in family research. The name confirmed for me I was on the right track, with Slowhands' help of course!

I believe the use of the name pre-dates Rev Parkinson Milson, however. The name was in use in my family before he would have been well-known although interestingly enough the family were primitive Methodists at the time.

I have an uncle who carries the name. I had never heard it elsewhere until I started my research. As a child he called himself "Mick" although in old age he has became "Mike".
