Luffman in Newfoundland
« on: Tuesday 02 June 09 13:48 UTC (UK) »
John Luffman (Loughman or Loveman) appears in an early Newfoundland census as born in England. Though scarce everywhere and rare in northern England, the surname is at its most frequent in Dorset ,Somerset, Wiltshire and Hampshire. In view of this and its relativly common occurrence in Newfoundland does any one know which towns or villages in these counties provided the bulk of the migrations to Newfoundland?

Sorry, obviously we have no helpful information regarding your question...
NFLD didn't join Canada until almost the middle of the last century...we haven't a lot of information
or ship's lists...perhaps you may find something in our limited resource pages:

General statement from this site: http://www.heritage.nf.ca/society/english.html
"Most of the immigrants came from two specific regions - the southwest of England and the southeast of Ireland. Small numbers, however, did come from other parts of the British Isles including London, Liverpool, the English Midlands, other parts of Ireland, Scotland and the Channel Islands. Very few came from Wales"
