    There were no results found for your selection. There needed to be at least 100 people with the name on the Electoral Register in 1998 to be in the database. We are hoping to add these missing names at a later date.

    Just have to wait for them to expand to eastern Europe.

    As far as I'm aware, there's only 3 people with my surname on the electoral register, me and my parents.

    Me, I'm from either cornwall, the home counties, or up north, though there are quite a few of us in London apparently. 94% British - 4.83% Far East apparently.

    oh, and I have absolutely no idea where my branch of the family comes from lol.

    It shows mine is in (and from) the south east England only, this isnt accurate since I know for a fact there are a few of us in the rest of the country. Also I *thought* it was a european name but it only brings up the UK in its results.

    Some MSN clippings...

    Me says:
    in 1881 the midlands was home to a few Fudgers, but the south was where you found Fudge
    Me says:
    now the Fudgers have left, but Fudge is everywhere
    2 days to prague says:
    hehe, you get more wags in the west now, but fags are only found in the southeast
    2 days to prague says:
    nutts are more common than bolts
    Me says:
    haha, that's another one for the double-barrels
    Me says:
    if you hang around Essex once again you might find a Ginger-Alecock
    oohhh, reminds me of finding that YoureNotMe site that seems to be dead now...


    Edit: Oh yeah, and my surname's from Scotland!

    Mines an Irish surname, but seems to be very popular in the north-west area of the UK as well.
