Hursty Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
My grandmother was of the surname Hurst and her family came from the Scottish Borders with England. After decades of research I was put in contact with the 'King of the Gypsies', William Marshall, who by then had settled in Lockerbie, Scotland. He was in his 90s. We visited him and he told me that the Hurst name of the Scottish Borders belonged to a travelling family whose correct name in Scotland was Hursty [Hurst when they settled in England] and that when the family traveled to Ireland they took the name Horsey. Subsequent inquiries revealed that one Hursty man traveled to Prince Edward Island.My grandmother, Elizabeth Kerr Hurst was born in Newcastle upon Tyne in mid-1800s and was first generation to settle. We are extremely proud of our heritage and hope people are not offended by this information.
