The following shows the distribution of the residency of STRANGE (not variants) across English counties in 1881 - the total is 3121. As you will see I have used the Chapman County Codes. The 'hotbeds' for the name were Berkshire, Surrey, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire and Middlesex; it might be instructive to repeat the exercise against "where born" - but that's a bigger job! |
