Summing up Sayle given names and places of birth
In Response To: Sayle family from Bride, IOM ()

I just did some summing for the Sayle names in the 1851 Census for both the IoM and England. This was for my own edification but I thought I may as well post it here for any other Sayle researchers.

There were 385 Sayle family members cataloged in both countries.

There were 96 different Given Names, including possible transcriptions errors, and the top most popular names were John (43), William (40), Ann (30), Jane (26), Thomas (23), Catherine (17), Margaret (13), Elizabeth (12), Robert (11), Catharine (8), Mary (8), Daniel (7), Charles (7), James (6), Ellen (6), Eleanor (6), Esther (5), Isabella (5), Philip (5), Henry (5), Cathrine (4), Charlotte (4), Mary (Ann (4), Patrick (3) and Sophia (3).

The most popular places for a Sayle to be born were, including transcription errors: Andreas (79), Patrick (41), Bride (32), German (29), Douglas (21), Maughold (20), Michael (14), Ramsey (13), Lezayre (13), Lonan (11), Peel (11), Conchan (10), Malew (9), Castletown (6), Baston (6), Ballaugh (6), Onchan (5), Douglas (5), Rostecoror, Ireland (4), Braddan (4), Jurby (3), Marown (2), Arbory (2), Rush (2), England (2), Rushen (2) and Ireland (2).
