Hi Petra

a very interesting latest edition for you!

I have Burneys in my family from Brampton/Lanercost/Hayon area but also as far south as Durdar.

This first entry is really interesting especially the part about a genteel fortune!! All of mine were poor labourers! Gives me another area to now look at for links.

I hope you find a link, Sue. Although Kirkoswald is further south then the usual stomping grounds of your BURNIEs.

Yes it is. I think I will aim to have a look at the original PR and see if I can find any further info! They do tend to pop up in a place and then locate further away. So you never know, but this entry is something I can at least now follow up.

Thanks

Sue
