Neighbourhood profile for Lampard

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Lampard, 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.

During the 18th century, the name Lampard appeared in various parts of England, with records indicating individuals bearing the name in counties such as Somerset, Gloucestershire, and Wiltshire.

One notable figure from this period was William Lampard, who was born in 1711 in Melksham, Wiltshire, and served as a prominent clockmaker and watchmaker in Bath.

In the 19th century, the name Lampard continued to be found across various regions of England, with individuals bearing the name residing in areas such as London, Somerset, and Gloucestershire.
