I originally ran across this back in January while researching the origin of surnames. I ran across a couple articles in the BBC Magazine, Part One and Part Two. After scratching around a bit in these articles I found another link that profiles the migration of Surnames from 1881 to 1998 in Great Britain. Now I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer but I was able to ascertain a couple things:
- Between 1881 and 1998 the Cheevers moved (enlarge) from Paisley to Lerwick Scotland.
- The town with the largest zip code concentration was Greenock Scotland.
- The largest concentration of Cheevers in New Zealand is Wellington and
- The largest concentration of Cheevers in America is Massachusetts
