Benjamin, Alwyn. A Statistical Comparison of the Principal Surnames in Use in Penarth (Gla), 1881 with those in use in Aberystwyth, 1871. Ceredigion, Vol IX/3 1982. Despite the different dates used the two places in this comparison had roughly equal population totals and both were then active sea ports. Interesting to note that the top 12 names in Aberystwyth covered 58.9% of the total whilst in Penarth they only covered 16.9% (Jones was first in both cases).
