As the
table above shows the most number of Cumberbatchs were to
be found in:
-
Staffordshire
-
Lancashire
-
Northamptonshire
-
Cheshire
As
Comberbach in Cheshire is the origin of the surname, then the
above depicts migration away from Cheshire and into
neighbouring counties. This would suggest that the migration away from
the area began many years prior to 1881.
Tudor
tax returns of 1545-46 for Congleton tax the three most wealthy
local men at a rate of:
|
Richard Grene, several times mayor, £35 / yr
|
|
James Rode (Rood), £21 / yr
|
|
Thomas Comberback, £20 / yr
|
These
three men were the only Congleton men to have voluntarily
contributed to the King's collection in the next year (History of
Congleton, Ed. WB Stephens p.49).
Congleton is 18.8 miles away from Comberbach. Migration away
from Comberbach may well have started before the 16th century.
Conclusion
The high
county population in Lancashire effectively masks the 2nd
highest number of instances of the surname, whilst the low population of
Huntingdonshire effectively promotes the 10 individuals in that
small county.
This
distribution is too late to help to pinpoint the origin of this surname.
