Distribution of Historical Data for the name SCOON
These tables show an analysis of the entries for Scoon and some variants in the Scottish OPRs and the national censuses. In most cases they have been built from the on-line indexes available for these and most have not been checked in depth yet against the original documents. They are therefore susceptible to transcription errors during the original indexing although they have been built taking into account any user provided corrections which appear on the indexes. They should therefore be used as an indication of the general level of the distribution of the name rather than absolute figures. As a general point, it is worth remembering that hand written entries for Scoon, which has no ascenders or descenders, are often difficult to distinguish from more common names which have a similar physical construction, e.g. Swan and (particularly) Sevon, and indexers have been drawn into understandable errors. So, if you are looking for a 'missing' Scoon, you may have to go beyond phonetics in the options you use.
