Thomas Storour, 1379: ibid.
Henricus Storour, 1379: ibid.
1771. Married — Joseph Storer and Mary Kightley: St. George, Hanover Square.
Weekley says (p. 105) this name means 'the convent treasurer,' but the Scottish name is from the office of 'storour.' one who has charge of the flocks and herds, as described in Douglas's Eneados (bk. VII, c. IX, 21-23):
"Tirrheus thair fader was fee maister, and gyde of studis, flokis, bowis, and heyrdis wyde,
As storoure to the king."
The tenant of a sheep farm in Scotland was called a 'storemaster. William Sturror witnessed sasine by Master Alexander Ramsay in 1534 (Bamff, p. 64), and Bessie Storrar is recorded in Easter Cash, 1732 (Dunkeld).
Storer is a common surname, in Germany, and means "a disturber;" but our Storers are probably indigenous and conservators, rather than breakers, of the peace, for two officers of the manor of Whittlesea in the Isle of Ely, elected every year, are called Storers.
Samuel Storer was churchwarden of St. Alkmund's church. Derby, in 1624 (G.), and the name is still in the town.
