Hello Nadine,

I kept a copy of the newspaper cutting from The Times 21st January 2006 when the site had only been open for 5 days. The website address is

www.surnameprofiler.org

Try also www.spatial-literacy.org/UCLnames/help or simply www.spatial-literacy.org and then follow the links from there.

Other useful sites are www.familysearch.org
www.british-genealogy.com

Good luck. Pam

Is this what you are looking for?

This was in the Times a couple of years ago.
www.Spatial-literacy,org
look up surnames profiler asit connects to www.nationaltrustnames.org.uk/Surname

I think it only does 1881

Hi,

A couple of years ago I found a website that showed where concentrations of a particular name lived in a given year. You entered the name you were interested in and chose a year and it showed where people with that name were living.

Ive tried to find it again but had no luck. Does anyone know the address at all?

Thanks
