Thank you all very much for your help
The persons name is David Hughes, b abt 1826. He spent most of his life in Longton, Stoke-on-Trent.
Gagget is correct in saying his earlier census's have him recorded as being born in Longton, but I think this is either a mistake on the part of the enumerator, or, perhaps David Hughes deliberately misled the enumerator, as I have read that many people of that time were suspicious of the census??
Thanks to you all -- I see now (on a map) that Bersham is just on the south-west outskirts of Wrexham, & I can see a Bersham Rd that runs pretty much into the centre of Wrexham. It never occurred to me, until you mentioned it, that the census might be referring to Wrexham, & I would never of got Bersham! It did look like Brin - something on the 1881 census.
Your info has just helped me to find what i think are David Hughes's parents: William Hughes, b. abt 1806 in Hope Parish, Flintshire (7 miles north of Wrexham), & Margaret, b. abt 1801 in Gresford, Denbighshire (3.5 miles north of Wrexham),
