From Pauline Young...

3-4 John (read: the 3rd and 4th year of King John, or 1202-1203) : Hugh de Logos and Margaret his wife v Richard de Dol in Burg Wandlesworth and Remden (Really included this one as I suppose there mght just be a slight possibility that Logos might be Longhurst misheard by a clerk, and abbreviated into Latin, which they did a lot, but no proof at all. Don't know where Remden is, either.)

8-13 Henry III (1224-1229) : Richard de Longhurst and his wife Alice and Thomas de Rumeham and his wife Cecelia v Julian fil' Goda by Gerard fil' Ralph in Slifeld (Haven't looked up Slifield, so don't know where it is yet, may well be a far or property.)

13 Henry III (1229) : Peter le Poter v Isabel widow of Ralph Lungis in Geldeford. (Geldeford is an old name for Guildford - it means the Golden Ford, because of a sandbank which formed the crossing of the River Wey. I think that Ralph must have been (a Longhurst), with a scribe who wrote what he heard.)

13-14 Edward III (1390-1391) : William de Longhurst and his wife Edith v John de Longhurst in Ockelegh and Abyngeworthe (Abingworth is the old name for Abinger, so this is in two of 'our' villages. Possibly William was John's son.)

13-15 Henry IV - 1 Henry V (1412-1413) : Thomas Saundre and Simon Longehurst v Richard Asshurst and his wife Joanna in Newdegate, Capell and Dorkyng. (I think definitely one of ours.)
