Re: Spurrs
This appears to be a very rare English surname. According to this map -
http://www.ancestry.com/learn/facts/Fact.aspx?&fid=6&fn=&ln=Spurrs
There were only twelve families (households)of the name, all in Durham.
The name is assumed to be a version of Spurr, a metonymic for a manufacturer of spurs, a spurrier.
