Roberts And Burman In Newtyle, Scotland - (Newtyle - Angus)
I'm pursuing a mystery. One of my grandfather's first names was Burman. As this isn't a family name, it looks as though his father, shoemaker Alex Roberts, chose to "honor" a benefactor. This would be in the 1870s. I'm wondering if he was apprenticed to this mystery Burman, perhaps in the 1850s. Any Burmans out there?
