About The Longhurst Family - My Attempt At Sorting the Data
Please sign in to see more.
Some years ago I tried to sort out the various pieces of data I had gathered on the Longhurst family in Surrey and Sussex England. This is the result.
I DO NOT GUARANTEE THIS IS CORRECT, JUST MY INTERPRETATION OF THE INFORMATION I HAD, but it is put here in case it is of any help to anyone.
Any comments or corrections please let me know.
The Longhurst family appear to originate from a group of parishes (Ewhurst, Ockley, Cranley - now spelt Cranleigh - Capel etc.) at the southern escarpment of Leith Hill Surrey. The name means 'dweller by the long wooded hill', and I have mused that this is the long hill they dwelt by. These people were farmers, and occur often in parish records as church wardens and the like.
The name is of Anglo-Saxon derivation. There are mentions of the name in various spellings back to the time of Edward III in Feet of Fines.
