Anyone out there wondered where other people with the same surname live across the U.K?

People who are have researched their ancestry may be aware of this website All about surnames - soFeminine.co.uk

Sorry, your search didn't return any results because we don't have enough data for this surname (nonexistent or less than 1300 records).

Well that makes me special then. Though I can tell them that it is most common in the South East part of Kent.

They did not have enough Data for mine since i think there are only a few hundred people with my surname in England anyway.

39th. 129,805 of us, the most being just over 8000 in South Yorkshire. Makes sense as my father was from Barnsley. Spookily, my partner has the same surname (though I refer to her as Mrs P, we're not married).
