Hi Kat lost interest for a while but back now Adams is a nationwide name, hard to tell exactly where it originated the greatest number of Adams was in London particularly in Islington and Lambeth but per 100,000 people Towcester and Daventry have the highest concentration (nearly 1% of population) Sharman (I have that in my tree too) appears in a wide belt from Suffolk and Norfolk through Northants, Lincolnshire, to Yorks. and Lancs. Skeet again mainly East Anglian notably Suffolk, Ipswich with the highest actual occurence and Samford with the greatest per 100,000 Sporle is solely East Anglian Ipswich again has highest actual occurence, but Depwade has the greatest per 100,000 Lock although has reasonabe showing in East Anglia this appears to be a West Country name Somerset and Devon mainly and Langport in particular Isle of Wight is prominent too. Wilkinson surprisingly mainly a southern name hard to distinguish a particular area Barton Regis tops as actual numbers Caine in Wiltshire having the highest density -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ros, Scotland not included in Poor Law Census but 1881 Census shows Rattray - Angus Barclay - Lanark Doig - Angus as the most likely areas Davis seems to be concentrated in industrial areas of London, Birmingham and Bristol

Also DAVIS-England, Ros

Rattray Barclay Doig ALL SCOTLAND, Ros

Chowns actual numbers Oxfordshire 41 Buckinghamshire 20 highest occurrence Thame 37 Leighton Buzzard 14 Mealing - Gloucs has 91 occurences of name Bucks 60, but Wycombe has greatest concentration 59 Mealins - solely Cardiff only 6 people Mellins - Yorkshire/Lancashire in particular Huddersfield and Wigan Purvey - Gloucs and Sussex - Northleach Smoothy - East Anglia - Risbridge
