Hi follers, as far as you know, are there ethnic English people named Hirsch? I’ve been wondering for some years if Nick Mason of Pink Floyd has Jewish ancestry on his mother’s side.
No, Hirsch shouldn’t be an English surname. I think these are his grandmother, great-grandfather, and great-great-grandfather:

If Alexander Hirsch, born in Frankfurt, Germany around 1823, to Frederick Hirsch, was Jewish, that would make Mason of 1/16th Jewish descent.
Well, it’s pretty cool.
Btw can I ask you if you like Pink Floyd?
