The web-Wednesday site for this week is:
This is a really useful site to those interested in the distribution of a surname across Great Britain, using census data for the years 1851, 1861, 1881, 1901 and 1911 (1911 excludes Scotland), and for the more recent years 1998, 2006 and 2016.
This is an interesting way to see the focus areas, but it is not going to be absolutely accurate, though when I searched for my own surname, it did mention further down the page, where the historical places were, which were correct and one of the popular given names was Samuel, which is something that does follow the data for my husband’s family.
