Could it be Rhubarb?

No!

Modern transport arrived in Dagenham in the form of railways. In 1885 a new railway station opened ...

Getting closer...

I'm not very good at Geography, but I looked at another map, I think this is right:
In 1881 we were mostly found in the West of England, the South East; I think Brighton and Bath.

In 1998 it was again most of the West of England, also some down near Brighton, Cardiff, Birmingham and Northumbria.

Few Scots though, but then again it is a very English name.

Wonder if you can guess what my surname is

OR SMITH

Nowadays it can be found as far a field as Neverland and most american courts that have child abuse cases

[Tazmanian Devil]

Very interseting.
I thought I had an unusual Surname but it would appear not
Mainly British and Irish but there is some Sikh, Hindi, etc

I have a very common surname - so was surprised to see that the distribution is not nationwide like I thought it would be.

Well, I could only think of one thing for which Dagenham is famous.

A little local knowledge can be very helpful.

[Icey]

Geographical Spread:
1881 - Truro (Cornwall), Devon and Merionnethshire (Wales)
1998 - Truro (Cornwall), Devon, Wiltshire, Herefordshire, Oxfordshire, Cheshire, Cumbria and North Yorkshire.

This bears out the sparse family history I know of that we came from Cornwall. We're not very spread out, just little pockets here and there.

OK, but Ash if you want to be famous you've got to ditch the Ford and become Rhubarb - and you can team up with a guy (gorgeous of course) that can be Custard! I really think Rhubarb is the coolest name anyone could have (there speaketh Piglet )
