Historical References
"SHEARGOLD. An English surname of rare occurrence. Walter Sheargold was a witness in the trial of Captain Porteous in Edinburgh, 1736. Lower has the name and says "Shere, or pure, gold;" Weekley (p. 266) says "Shargold, Shergold, perhaps a coin-clipper or a worker at the mint," and Bardsley explains it "Bapt. 'the son of Shergold.' Probably a form of Sargood." Elsewhere he explains Sargood as Sigurd (?). I refrain from adding one more guess. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
