The information that LocateMyName contains is certainly very suspect. We have no idea how they gather such information, and I would suspect that much of it is based on out of date data. For example, I have lived in Scotland since 1979 and have made no secret of it. But try to find an Amsden who lives there according to LocateMyName. Maybe they just drop information about individuals, but if they do then their data is certainly not to be relied upon. Peter Amsden

I had an e-mail from Locatemyname offering to pay me to review their site which I thought was odd. I declined the offer but asked them if they might be able to provide details of the sources they are using for their maps as, without this information, the maps have little value. I was told that they would "consider making a list". Best wishes Debbie Kennett

I checked my name, Willing, and found the places and numbers in the UK where people of that name live to be reasonably accurate, at least for adults, with one exception. It says that there are 14 people called Willing in Glasgow, where I live, which is about ten too many. I would love to know who these other people called Willing in Glasgow are. But there are certainly a few centres of population which have been omitted.
