  2. We’ve seen a list of the 20 or so commonest surnames in the nineteenth century. But what about the others? Over the next few months when I have time I’ll post the top 200 names (combining spelling variants as far as possible) in batches of ten, with their supposed type and the number of households with that name in 1861.

    To recap, here’s the amended top 20.

    Finally, we meet some names that didn’t arise from a first name. Cock for example was originally a nickname with various suggested meanings. It was widespread in Cornwall by the 1500s and the broad similarity of its distribution in the 1520s and the 1640s implies that it was already a fixed surname in most places in 1500.

    Maps of all these surnames in the 1500s and 1641 can be found here.

    Further details of most will be found in my The Surnames of Cornwall.

  6. Ed #Davey facing further pressure over his handling of Post Office IT scandal when postal affairs minister in the coalition

    In May 2010, #LibDem leader refused to meet Alan Bates, the sub-postmaster who led the campaign to expose the scandal, as he didn't believe it "would serve any purpose".

    He now says he was "deeply misled by Post Office executives"

    Maybe - be a bit less trusting of the establishment & a bit more open to the little people, Mr Davey?

    "How wonderful to be as incurious as Ed. Not to think – even for a nano-second – that there might be something wrong going on. That not every post office operator who was complaining of an injustice might be making it up. But not Brain-Dead Ed. He had his officials to tell him everything was tickety boo."
