I take this to be a local name, from Osbaldiston in Lancashire, q. Osbald his Town. There is in Yorkshire Osbaldwick, pronounced Osberwick. It should be Oswald, a Bishop of York and Martyr, in both cases.
We have the name Bernardiston, from a place of the name in Suffolk[281].
Robertsbridge, in Sussex, appears to be a corruption of Rothersbridge, as it was long called, and with plausibility; for it is situated on the river Rother: but the former is the truth, as I have been informed that in old Latin deeds it is styled Pons Roberti.
There are some terms which, by a double corruption, have got home again; as Crevisses, in Derbyshire; where Crevise, the word for a Cray-fish, is a corruption: but it gets home by it; for the French word from whence cray-fish was first formed, is ecrevisse. This too is the radical word; for the lobster is but a species of it, and called l'ecrevisse de mer, or sea-cray-fish; what is now called the sea-cray-fish, is properly the lobster. This difference consists in the want of claws.
