Thanks Rhian for the suggestion of Burslem. I have found Burslem in
Staffordshire...it is now one of 6
towns that amalgamated to form Stoke-on-Trent.
So far I have not found this name in Wales but it is popular in Cheshire and
Lancs........my family had
connections to Lancs.
Thanks again and Happy New Year from Vancouver Island.

I'm fairly sure there's a current name spelt Burslem - at least if memory
serves, that's the spelling. I used to know someone with that surname in
Wales but am not sure if it was her own name or her married name .
Might this be an odd spelling of the same name or even a mistranscription
of
that name by someone who wasn't sure how to spell it?
Just a suggestion.
