Early Origins of the Lasher family

The surname Lasher was first found in Cambridgeshire where Hugh de Lisures granted lands to Thorney Abbey, temp. Henry I., but he was also listed as witnessing a charter of Jocelyn Crespin in Normandy in 1128. 1

While this is believed to be the first record of the family in England, we must step back a bit further to Normandy where this family, "like Lusers and Lisores, bears a chief. William de Lusoris, Normandy 1180-1195 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae). The Barons of Lisores, Normandy, were a branch of the Bassetts. "

Back in England, in 1165 Warner de Lisures held a barony in Wiltshire, Robert in Huningdonshire, and R. Lisures was a forester in fee in Northamptonshire 2. Nigel Lisures in the 13th century held lands in Nottinghamshire 3.
