The complete picture of the locations of Sugg families in Suffolk in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries is not clear but they were obviously well established. However, in the 19th century there is evidence of only one Sugg marriage which took place in Woodbridge. In the 1881 national census only one Sugg couple were registered in Suffolk.  They  were  living  in  Ipswich  and  the man was an engine fitter born in

Reading. The same couple were also recorded in the 1901 census. Current telephone directories show a small number of Suggs in Suffolk but research indicates that at least some of these have moved into the county from elsewhere. For reasons unknown the Sugg family appears to have virtually died out in this region.

From the early nineteenth century Romsey and Andover continued to be the major centres of Sugg  populations  in  Hampshire although there is evidence of a gradual

dispersal into other parts of the county – to the towns of Winchester, Aldershot, Portsmouth and Farnham among others. The 1881 and 1901 census returns show that there was some migration to London but a significant number of Suggs remained in Hampshire. They included a beer house keeper, a blacksmith, a coal porter and agricultural labourers. There are a small number of Suggs living in Hampshire at the beginning of the 21st century.
