Mine are all common  ;D ;D

The rarest I've found is Bilby  433   Ranking 12,695  :) :)

She married an ancestor of mine in the mid 1700's - perhaps I'd better do some research on her it may be easier !!!!!!!!

Think I might have just come accross one of the rarest surnames in England..... Swall.

It is a derivative of Swale and although there are many in the census records most of them are mistranscribed Swales.
They were originally from Kaber in Westmorland and now are centred (if you can centre two!) around North Allerton.
There were 7 in the 2007 electoral register and I am told by a lady who had Swall as her maiden name that there are just 2 now.

Has anyone come across a rarer one?
Barnard, Ford, Pett, Moore, Holden, Collison, Kingshott, Lytollis, Kinghorn, Walker, Lightoller, Lightowler.

Pine 1234 (I kid you not!), ranking 5577
Pyne 1993, ranking 3702
Dowdeswell 988, 6678

Probably why I don't find many links to my own tree!

I am Australian, from all the lands I come (my ancestors, at least!)

Pine/Pyne, Dowdeswell, Kempster, Sando/Sandoe/Sandow, Nancarrow, Hounslow, Youatt, Richardson, Jarmyn, Oxlade, Coad, Kelsey, Crampton, Lindner, Pittaway, and too many others to name.
Devon, Dorset, Gloucs, Cornwall, Warwickshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire, Wilts, Germany, Sweden, and of course London, to name a few.

My maiden name: Rands   1159 (rank 5895). I am a bit surprised by that.
My married name: Felix      1122 (rank 6041). Surprised at similarity to be honest!

One of the more unusual names in my tree:
Gellatley    18 (rank 97089) That's more like it!
Rands - Hackney. Bedfordshire.
Griffiths - Birkenhead. Queensland, Australia
Ollive/Olive - Cheshire. Birkenhead
Holt - ?Cheshire/Liverpool
Lacey - Mile End, London. Queensland, Australia
Felix (surname ), Wales, England.
Sewell - Middx. Queensland, Australia
Sapsord/ Sapsford - Middx
