• Occupation. Cordwainer/Shoemaker

• Place: Burringham, Lincolnshire, England, United Kingdom. The Name
The meaning of Burringham's name is disputed with Mills believing it to mean 'homestead of the dwellers on the stream' and Cameron suggesting 'homestead, estate of the Burgredinga or the Burgricingas'.
Mills, A.D. A Dictionary of English Place Names.
The Place
Burringham is a small village on the east bank of the River Trent five miles from Crowle. Population increases in 1841 and 1861 can be attributed to the presence of persons employed in the construction of a brick and tile yard in 1841 and the railway in 1861.
