Origins of surname

This name, common in the Manche department of Normandy, is derived from hure, which in old French signified a head with spiky hair. There are many spelling variations throughout France, in addition to those shown below which are found in Jersey records.

Early records

As the variants below show, this name, in one spelling or another, can be found in Jersey records as far back as the 14th century, but in the era of Church family records, it has never been numerous.

A family can be traced back to the early 17th century, when Richard Hurel arrived from France and married Catherine Nouel in St Martin, but burial records suggest that there were a number of families, possibly related, in Jersey during the second half of the previous century, probably also relatively recent arrivals from Normandy.

The family appears to have died out in the mid 18th century, but Hurels can again be found in 19th century census records, again arrivals from Normandy.

The name is still present today, and it is likely that the 21st century Hurels can only trace their ancestry in Jersey back to the mid-1800s.

Tips

The church record links above will open in a new tab in your browser and generate the most up-to-date list of each set of records from our database. These lists replace earlier Family page baptism lists, which were not regularly updated. They have the added advantage that they produce a chronological listing for the family name in all parishes, so you do not have to search through A-Z indexes, parish by parish.

We have included some important spelling variants on some family pages, but it may be worth searching for records for a different spelling variant. Think of searching for variants with or without a prefix, such as Le or De. To search for further variants, or for any other family name, just click on the appropriate link below for the first letter of the family name, and a new tab will open, giving you the option to choose baptism, marriage or burial records. You will then see a list of available names for that type of record and you can select any name from that list. That will display all records of the chosen type for that family name, and you can narrow the search by adding a given name, selecting a parish or setting start and end dates in the form you will see above. You can also change the family name, or search for a partial name if you are not certain of the spelling

The records are displayed 30 to a page, but by selecting the yellow Wiki Table option at the top left of the page you can open a full, scrollable list. This list will either be displayed in a new tab or a pop-up window. You may have to edit the settings of your browser to allow pop-up windows for www.jerripediabmd.net. For the small number of family names for which a search generates more than 1,500 records you will have to refine your search (perhaps using start or end dates) to reduce the number of records found.

New records
