ratio: crude totals of surnames per parish (poor law union) do not
give helpful information.
Parishes are of varying sizes & some surnames, like Taylor, are very common & will predominate in
most areas. The ratio shows how common a name is in an area compared to how common it is
nationally.

Notice
eg that Wood is a common name, (although mainly in the North) and is
common in
Saddleworth. But it is disproportionately common in Saddleworth which has the highest relative
concentration in the country.
