Early Origins of the Storks family

The surname Storks was first found in Kent where they held a family seat. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1198 when Osbert Storc held estates in that shire.
