Surnames
These are the surnames found in the Bridgnorth Burgess Book, along with their frequencies. For this summary, where a surname is found with more than one spelling I have usually grouped them together under one of the variants. The searchable transcription on the Search page, however, lists the surnames as originally written.
The ten most common surnames are (in order): Milner, Jones, Evans, Brown, Head, Hughes, Wellings, Baker, Jordan and Cheese.

Forenames
These are the forenames found in the Bridgnorth Burgess Book, along with their frequencies. Common forenames were often abbreviated in the records, and although I have transcribed them as written I have indexed them as the unshortened versions (in their modern spellings), in order to be more easily searchable. It is these unabbreviated names which are summarised here.
The ten most common names are (in order): John, Thomas, William, Richard, Edward, George, Francis, Joseph, Samuel and James.

Places of Residence
These are the places of residence of people listed in the Bridgnorth Burgess Book, along with their frequencies. Not all entries have their place of residence stated, and those which merely state their father’s residence have not been included. Although some entries give street or house names as well as towns and villages, this summary simply groups together all entries from the same town under that town’s name.
The spelling and abbreviation of towns and villages was a very haphazard business, but where it is obvious which place is being referred to the place is indexed under its modern spelling, whilst retaining the original spelling in the full transcriptions. For example, Morville was often spelt as Morfield and Kinver as Kinfare, and Bridgnorth is often abbreviated to 'B:North', 'B.N.', or even just 'B'.
The ten most common places are (in order): Bridgnorth (hardly surprising!), Neenton, London, Birmingham, Broseley, Wolverhampton, Worcester, Kidderminster, Bewdley and Stourbridge.
