I just came across a name in my tree that seems to be limited to this one family. It doesn't particularly strike one as odd - the name is Burred. However, one of my relative s married Edward Juniper Burred in Norfolk in 1880, and as far as I can see the only other instances are his immediate family. My relative had a slightly premarital son, registed as both Burred Edward Fulcher and Burred Edward Burred, though he usually went by Edward Burred.
I could guess that it was originally a mis-reading/variant of the more common Burrell, but it seems to have sprung to life in the early 19th century, when William and Jane were having babies christened. Familysearch offers a few Burreds in Stepney in the 17th century, but otherwise there is a blank. It seems the rarest name on my tree although looking fairly unremarkable.
