When driving in Scotland, slow down and enjoy the trip The Barlass surname is believed to be an Anglicized form of the Old French Barlier, once used to describe a fisherman who used an "engine", probably a trawl or similar. The name was probably introduced into England in the 12th Century, and then re-introduced by the Huguenots after 1685. After this date the name appears in the records of the French Huguenot Churches in London, England. There are many spelling forms from Borlease and Borleace, to Barles, Borles, Burles and Barlace, although all are quite rare. Whilst first recorded in England for a time the name was claimed to be Scottish, however, the first such recording was one James Barles, of Cultmalundie, in 1670, whilst John Barless, of Foullis, is recorded in 1750. In England, examples include: Joane Barlease, who married Robert Coxon at the Church of St. Bartholomew the Less, London, on March 12th 1614; Elizabeth Barlas, who married John Smith at Epping, Essex, on March 28th 1789; whilst on October 21st 1804, Sarah Jane Barlass was christened at St. Ann's Church, Soho, London. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Edward Burles, which was dated June 30th 1558, a witness at the Church of St. Martin in the Fields, Westminster, London, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. When driving in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip.
