Can't remember what it was,
But now if I do,

Would be the perfect place [more]... View/Write Comments (count 0)   |   Receive updates (0 subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe

The HURT Family

"I've enjoyed your HURT information on your website. Thanks. A question regarding the signature of John James Hurt. There is obviously something after the H-U-R-T in the autograph. What is it? Hurtoise maybe? I'm curious because I see the "HURT" root in several names in French, Spanish and German. I myself am researching Walter Hurt born 12 Sep 1897 in Hucknall England - a stone's throw from Nottingham, and a sparrow's flight from Ashbourne and Derbyshire. His father also Walter, and mother Elizabeth (Mellows).
