I've recently completed an exercise going through all the records of families I hold to document separately where the Hookins families have lived throughout the years covered. In total they were found to be inevidence in 35 different counties in addition to London. The biggest number of instances were found to be in London where I have 139 different addresses with the most popular areas being Chelsea followed by Islington.
After that the largest gatherings are in Devon (66), dominated by Exeter and Plymouth, followed by Somerset (51), in no fewer than 28 different towns and villages, and Surrey (46), mostly in Mitcham.
If these addresses had been historical I would have posted them separately on the blog but as some are currently still occupied by Hookins folk I cannot make this publicly available. It is however the ideal tool for me to use to perhaps back up the written evidence with photos of buildings occupied by the Hookins' of the past which I could add as time goes on.
