The surname Tolhurst has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. The name has its origins in England, specifically in the county of Kent. It is believed to be a locational surname, derived from the Old English words "toll" meaning "great" and "hyrst" meaning "wooded hill." The name would have originally been given to someone who lived near or on a large wooded hill.
However, there is evidence to suggest that some individuals with the surname Tolhurst may have Irish ancestry. It is possible that during the waves of migration and settlement between Ireland and England, some Irish individuals adopted the Tolhurst name. This could have been due to a variety of reasons, such as marriage to an English individual or the desire to assimilate into English society.
It is important to note that the presence of the Tolhurst surname among those of Irish descent is not common and is more likely an exception rather than the norm. The surname is primarily associated with English origins and is predominantly found in England and its former colonies.
In conclusion, while the surname Tolhurst is primarily of English origins, there is a possibility that some individuals of Irish descent may have adopted the name over the course of history. However, it is important to conduct thorough genealogical research to determine the specific origins and connections of individuals with the Tolhurst surname.
