the UK distribution of the

The origin of the name on the Cheshire and Lancashire border is clearly
indicated.

WARBURTON DISTRIBUTION (1998) | |
The same site describes
the geographical spread of the
name. The highest concentration of Warburtons in Great Britain is in
Bolton,
Lancashire. The highest concentration outside Britain is in Australia,
with the
top state being Western Australia. However it is known that there is a
large
colony of Egerton Warburtons, a distinct if related family, in Western
Australia, particularly around Pallinup which is described as the top
standard
statistical division. The Egerton Warburtons are descended from the
Warburtons
of Arley Hall, Cheshire through the female line.
There are also numbers of
Warburtons in New Zealand
(Marlborough is the top Province), Canada (there are 250 entries in the
Canada
411 directory), and the United States (Utah is the top State).
Interestingly the
concentration in the Republic of Ireland is very low although one of
the more
interesting and widespread Warburton families has its origins there in
the
seventeenth century.
