Birchall is an English surname deriving from the settlement of Biekel, Lancashire, and derived from Birch - hill. The village of Biekel later became "Birtle".〔(Burchall ) at the Internet Surname Database〕 Variant forms include Burchall and Burchill. It is most commonly found in the North-West of England, particularly Lancashire. The highest proportion of bearers can be found in Wigan, Greater Manchester. The first recorded bearer was John de Birchall de Birtles in 1401. The surname is less commonly found in other areas of the former British Empire, including Canada and the United States. Only one early migrant to Australia was recorded with this name, a convicted criminal, James Stanley Birchall, a Protestant from Chorley in Lancashire; on 10 April 1851 he was sent to Norfolk Island for committing forgery. The surname is also found in Sussex where it appears to have originated from the village of Billingshurst, where it can be found in the sixteenth century in its original form of Burchfold; this changed to Burchall in the mid-seventeenth century. A branch of the family migrated to Guildford, Surrey where they supplied two mayors – John and Richard Burchall, who entered a pedigree in the Heralds Visitations. ==Notable people named Birchall== *Adam Birchall (born 1984), Welsh footballer *Ben and Tom Birchall, 2009 World Sidecar Champions *Chris Birchall (born 1984), English/Trinidadian footballer *Edward Birchall (1839–1903), British architect *Grant Birchall (born 1988), Australian footballer *Ian Birchall (born 1939), British Marxist historian *Jack Birchall (born 1876), English footballer *Leonard Birchall (1915–2004), Canadian Air Commodore in the Second World War *Paul Birchall (aka Burchill) (born 1979), English wrestler ;Fictional character *Suzie Birchall in ''Coronation Street'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Birchall (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
