Hi Ken, yep, Bethnal Green for Philpots. No alternative spellings for Waddy as far as I can make out. Maybe they did all move away, my 2x gt grandfather moved to Essex but was back in Holbeck for the 1861 census with a new wife, after my 2x gt grandmother died. Banbury is spot on for Gregorys. Thanks again, Vivienne |

Hi Ken, Thanks for your reply; My jewell s were Somerset but only because they moved to work in Clarkes. Snook Bath and Somerset Heapey cluster around Yarpole originally way back from Richards Castle Shrops Peddle. Crump Proudman spot on OVertons were from Bucknall but relatives at Shifnal. I guess people didn`t really leave their roots until it came time to look for work in Wales etc. Thankyou very much |

Britton - very strong presence around Bristol, alternative York and Leeds Illingworth - as expected Yorkshire, West Riding Bradford and Dewsbury Taylor appears to emanate from West Riding & Lancs but is too widespread to really tell Walton - again North & West Ridings and Lancs, also Co. Durham |

Ravenscroft - Cheshire, Nantwich and Whitchurch S. (Northwich) Tams - Staffs., Stone and Stoke on Trent Stanton - interesting definitely Midlands - largest concentration of the name is Dudley, Walsall and West Brom. but as a percentage of population Brackley, Northants would suggest a large migration to industry |
