I have put together some information on the various Common Families of Northumberland using the 1881 census as a guide. The information might be helpful for those researching the Common surname.

I am particularly interested in the Common families of Warkworth and their origins. I would be very pleased to correspond with anyone that might share my interest.

There is specific information about the Warkworth Commons as well as other Common families living in Northumberland.
