Hurry Family of Yarmouth

The Hurry Family of Yarmouth were a prominent nonconformist (Whig in politics) Yarmouth family, comprised of merchants, ship owners, and grocers. When Crabb Robinson visited, the family consisted primarily of four brothers – Thomas, Samuel, William, and George – They vigorously supported the efforts in the late 1780s and early 1790s to repeal the Text and Corporation Acts and political reform (as Crabb Robinson did). By 1843 the family had become extinct in Yarmouth.  See Charles John Palmer, Memorials of the Family of Hurry of Great Yarmouth (Norwich: Miller and Leavins, 1873), 14, 20.
