Now that has got me thinking.

Hurlin History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Hurlin is one of the many names that the Normans brought with them when they conquered England in 1066. The Hurlin family lived in Normandy, France. The Normans frequently used the name of their estate in Normandy as part of their name. The family name Hurlin was brought to England after the Norman Conquest when William the Conqueror gave his friends and relatives most of the land formerly owned by Anglo-Saxon aristocrats.
Early Origins of the Hurlin family
The surname Hurlin was first found in Normandy, where Herluin was Vicomte of Conteville. This family is linked through marriage to William the Conqueror who established the Plantagenet rule of England.
Hurlin Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelt words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelt in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelt Herlwin, Herluin, Hurlin, Herlewin, Herling, Hurling, Hirwin, Erlewyn, Erlwin, Harlewyn and many more.

Ah I forgot you were too young to remember them Sweetie.(elastic stockings)The older women used to wear them under the nylons, a flesh coloured stretchable bandage that wrapped around the leg, usually worn by women with varicose veins. Women spent a lot of time on their feet back then resulting in all sorts of leg complains, thankfully we don’t seem to see much of it anymore.
I have various veins myself but you don't hear me complaining.
Very interesting family crest, mine has three fishes on the shield where your Lions are, is it any wonder that I like a drink.
So one is related to a chap called Willie who played conkers, well done Sweetie.
I’m related to a chap who cleaned out fireplaces, perhaps you’ve heard of him, Peter the Grate.
Hurling is officially the national game in Ireland.

Scribbles ElegyI read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me
And though it's past now, and the words start to fade
All the memories I have still remain
I've kept all the pictures, but I hide my feelings so no-one knows
Oh sure my friends all come round, but I'm in a crowd on my own
It's 'cause you're gone now, but your heart, still remains
And it'll be here if you come again
You see, I'd heard the rumors, I knew before you let me know
But I didn't believe it, not you,
No you would not let me go
Seems I was wrong, but I love, I love you the same
And that's the one thing that you can't take away but just remember
If leaving me is easy,
And you know, coming back is harder
And leaving me is easy
And you…
