The Total column shows the total number of people in that county or town with this surname. For example, there were 1,906 people called COUNCE in Tarleton at the time of the 1881 census.

The Frequency column shows the percentage of people in this county or town with this surname. For example, a frequency of 2000.0000 in Tarleton means that 2000.0000% of the people in Tarleton on census day were called COUNCE.

The Index column shows the relative probability of finding someone called COUNCE in this county or town, compared with the probability of finding them anywhere in Britain as a whole. An index of 1 means that if you pick someone at random from this county or town, you have exactly the same probability of picking someone called COUNCE as if you picked at random from the whole of the UK. Where the index is higher than 1, then you are more likely to find someone called COUNCE here than if you picked from the UK as a whole, and where it's lower then you are less likely. The actual figure shows the level of probability - for example, a figure of 2 would indicate that you are twice as likely to find someone called COUNCE here than in the UK as a whole, and 10 would make it ten times as likely. The value of 1.91 in Tarleton means that you are 1.91 times as likely to find someone with the surname of COUNCE in Tarleton than you would be in the whole of the UK.
