Map - Dalwood and variants
Data
The above data consists of the Dalwood surname with variants as follows:
| Name | No of persons | |
County of birth |
| DALWOOD | 53 | Somerset, Dorset, Devon, Cornwall | |
| 12 | Middlesex, Kent, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire | ||
| DALEWOOD | 6 | Somerset, Dorset | |
| DILWOOD | 4 | Lancashire, Cumberland, Yorkshire | |
| DOLLWOOD | 3 | Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent | |
| 13 | Middlesex | ||
| DOLWOOD | 8 | Middlesex, Somerset(4) | |
| DULWOOD | 1 | Dorset |
From this we see that 64 of the 100 Dalwoods (or variant) in the 1881 census were born in the West Country, and 68 were either living, or born, there. Note that 5 of the Dalwoods listed here, who were not born in the West Country, were not born Dalwoods - they became so through marriage.
