Geography

Where Flemingtons are most common

Historical parish links are strongest around Martin (including Toyd Farm), London parishes, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Salisbury St Edmund. These are the places where the surname stands out most clearly in the older records.

The modern local-area list points to New Forest, Carnwadric East, Basingstoke and Deane, Kensington and Chelsea and Tunbridge Wells. Treat these as concentration signals, not proof that every family line began there.

Some modern areas include a three-digit suffix, such as Leeds 110. The suffix is a small-area code, so it stays in the table while the prose uses the plain place name.

Neighbourhood profile for Flemington

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Flemington, this points to the kinds of places where the surname is most concentrated today.

These neighbourhood labels describe areas, not individual people. They are useful because surnames often cluster through family history, migration, housing patterns and local work. A surname can be strongest in one type of neighbourhood even when people with that name live across the country.

The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.

Properties are owned and typically have surplus living space. Associate professionals and administrative occupations are prevalent, and parents are likely to be in middle age or approaching retirement. Educational attainment is above the Supergroup average.

They are also typically educated to A Level/Highers or degree level and work in skilled or professional occupations.

This Supergroup is pervasive not only in suburban locations, but also in neighbourhoods at or beyond the edge of cities that adjoin rural parts of the country.
