I've only got brief notes from the will, it was
not one that I inspected
personally - but amongst bequests of sheep etc to members of her
family, Alice Wynchcombe includes -
'To Jone Burshall als Lankesheire 1 bz. barley.'
and Thomas Burshall als Lankesheire is mentioned at the end -
probably as
a witness.
perhaps these BURSHALL are ancestors of all our clans. I wonder if the BURSHALL came from Lancashire BUT people wanted to call them by the county from whence they came. Presumably the same Thomas in 1544 Thomas Lanckashire in Broadwell - not shown as Burshall. Broadwell is just south of Kencot and Alvescott
IGI caters for various spellings on BURSHALL and only 6 in Lancashire earliest being 1694
Just one IGI in Oxfordshire
