Burdis - Surname

[Kin-getter]

This appears to be 'popular' in north east England - Sunderland etc. Has anyone done any research on the name? I'm looking at it in connection with other surnames from elsewhere.

Thanks,

James.

Thanks Hawkeye for that. Having posted on the regular 'message board', I find them 'less than busy' but who knows?

Thanks.

James.
