Hi Burgher is term used mostly in Europe in the Middle Ages to denote a freeman or resident of a borough - not sure if it was widely used in England. Sometimes indicated someone of status. Suggest the local area library or records office might have information on the town concerned. Di |

Colin What is it you want to know? If you are trying to check out his birth, then it is before written parish records began, and you will have to use other sources to check for a birth - you may never find it. How have you got back to this man? OC |
