I have a family called Tweed on my tree, originating in Cheveley, Cambridgeshire. I always knew there were a lot of them but having just looked up one of them on the 1901 census I have found him in Cheveley on a page which holds 7 households and every one of them is occupied by a Tweed family! In fact there are 15 households headed by a Tweed in the village and 63 members of the family in total (not counting any married females who therefore have a different surname) Judith (who is now off to try to sort out how they all relate to one another). |

Probably a record for a not-common name, but on 1901 census practically every Welsh relative my husband has is living in roads where there are 3 or fewer surnames between the lot. nell |

In the 1841 census for Romsey amongst others, there are 13 Floyd households; 13 Powell households; 4 Shears households; 3 Mason households and 1 Hawkins household. A total of 135 people (excluding servants/lodgers with different surnames) - and they're all related to me in one way or another. Not only that - all the Floyd households and 9 of the Powell households (that's 22 households) were employed in the building trade!! maggie |
