__________________________ [edit] SourceThe following data were primarily extracted from Ancestry.com transcripts of the 1841 Census of England, which covered England itself, plus Scotland and Wales. The 1841 census for Ireland does not survive, with the 1901 census being the latest available record. The later records were examined using the National Archives of Ireland records, covering both Eire and North Ireland. [edit] Data
*not mapped, trace presence only [edit] DiscussionThe Stockton surname, as represented in the 1841 census of England (includes Wales and Scotland) and the 1901 census of Ireland (includes both North Ireland, and Eire), is present almost exclusively in England. Only trace numbers of persons bearing the Stockton surname are present in Scotland (0 persons), Wales (nine persons) and Ireland (1 person). It is likely that the distribution of Stockton's in the 1841, and 1901 census are not too dissimilar to the distribution of the surname at somewhat earlier dates. While it is possible that the Stockton surname was present in larger numbers Wales, Scotland, and Ireland during the peak periods of emigration to America prior to the Revolution, it seems more likely that at that time the surname was even at that time largely confined to England proper. |
