1995 UK
Distribution
Based on a Survey of
Telephone Directories
This is the
first survey of Wykes distribution that I attempted in 1995. I
had access to a copy of the British Telecom Telephone Directory CD,
from which I extracted all 583 entries listed under the name
WYKES.
The
distribution analysis was done with genealogical researches in mind,
so I have assigned all the locations to their old, pre-1974 counties
before local government reorganisation. This makes comparison
with historical distributions possible. See the other distribution
analyses below.

2001 UK
Distribution
Based on UK-Info CD
|
This analysis
of WYKES distribution in the UK in 2001 is based on the 2001UK-Info
CD, which contains information about adults extracted from a number of
sources including telephone directories and electoral rolls. The
UK-Info database is probably as complete a list of the adult
population of the UK as it is possible to achieve without access to
the current census records.
The data have
been analysed according to the 'old', pre-1974 counties. There are 1642
individuals listed. |
