Hi again. Yes I am connected - like it's on my birth certificate. What is your connection/reason for the interest in the name?

Incidentally, I did see another theory for the name. It was that it came from the German for a middle-ages mattress maker. mattresses were very rare and up-market then,so it could be possible. I prefer my theory though. Could be both. German mattress maker emigrated to Flanders and got chased out?

Hello Selena. Are you still looking for the roots of your name? I have a tree for it going back to a Henry born in 1713. My theory is that the name came across from Flanders in the 1600's with the Hugenot Flemish weavers who were chased out of there on religious grounds. History records that they came to England, but were not allowed to trade in London because of the plague, so they went up to Coventry/Leicester. Some years ago, the Mormons listed all known Bausors - two hundred odd worldwide. A huge part of them live in Coventry/Leicester.
