Surnames

If anyone is interested in family history etc they might like to try this website.  If you key in a surname it tells you what part of the country most people with this name lived in, in 1881 and 1998.  It's surprising to see that people haven't moved around that much.  Apparently my name was and is most prevalent in Peterborough - hello Oldspice!

My name was always most common in Devon and Cornwall so no surprises there!
