Hello, I found this interesting little web site. I'm sure a lot of seasoned family historians already know of it but for those who don't it might be worth having a quick look.
You just type in the surname you are doing research on and it shows you a map of the UK and the locations where they may have originated from, or where they are living now. You can specify 1881 or 1998. It's worth having a look. Best of luck. Tony. http://www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/default.aspx
