The table below presents the detailed number of people in each of the UK censuses recorded with each of the Wallator name variations found.  This is based on a comprehensive search of FindMyPast.co.uk using all phonetic name variations of "Wallator" (N.B. those listed are the only spellings found in the censuses).  There were also a small number of occurrences of the following names in BMD and other records (but not the censuses):

  • Waletter, Wallitar, Walitor, Wolletter, Wolitter, Walledar, Walledor, Wolleder and Wolledor.

Using this analysis I followed the same families in different censuses.  This makes it clear that there are several cases where the same individual's surname was recorded with different spellings in different census years (it was not uncommon for names to be wrongly recorded by the enumerator).  This is further evidence that the surname, however spelled, originates from the same family.  However, that family could date back a further 100 years or more.
