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.

Origin
Back to topThe surname TRESEDER is of English origin, specifically from the county of Cornwall in the South West of England. It is believed to have derived from the Cornish place name "Treseder" or "Trezeder", which translates to "the homestead by the water".
The name can be traced back to the 13th century, with one of the earliest recorded instances being a reference to a "William de Treseder" in the Assize Rolls of Cornwall from the year 1284. The name is also found in the Cornish Subsidy Rolls of 1327, indicating its presence in the region during the Middle Ages.
In the 16th century, the surname appears in various spellings such as "Treseder", "Trezeder", and "Tresidder". Records from this period include a John Treseder, who was mentioned in the Lay Subsidy Rolls of Cornwall in 1524.
The name TRESEDER has a strong connection to Cornwall, and many early bearers of the surname were associated with the parishes and villages of the region. For instance, there were references to families with this name in the parish records of St. Mawgan and St. Columb Major in the 17th and 18th centuries.
One notable individual with the surname TRESEDER was Sir Francis Treseder (1574-1652), a Member of Parliament for Bodmin in Cornwall during the reign of King Charles I. He played a significant role in the English Civil War, initially supporting the Royalist cause but later switching allegiance to the Parliamentarians.
Another prominent figure was John Treseder (1635-1692), a Cornish Presbyterian minister and author, who wrote several religious works, including "A Treatise on the Lord's Supper" and "A Discourse on the Revelation".
In the 19th century, a William Treseder (1796-1865) gained recognition as a Cornish architect and builder. He was responsible for designing and constructing numerous churches, houses, and other buildings in Cornwall during the early Victorian era.
The surname TRESEDER has also been associated with various place names in Cornwall, such as Treseder's Cross, a hamlet near the village of St. Columb Major, and Treseder's Mill, a former mill located in the parish of Roche.
While the surname TRESEDER is predominantly found in Cornwall and the surrounding areas, it has also spread to other parts of England and beyond due to migration and settlement patterns over the centuries.
