Distribution of Grenfell individuals
(including Grenfield, Grenfeld, Grenfill, Granfell, Granfill)
1841, 1861, 1881 & 1901 census.
In the 19th century, in addition to those
migrating to various parts of the world,
many Grenfells moved
out of Cornwall to other mining areas
of England, Scotland
and particularly Wales, and to the business and banking centres in
London.
This resulted in the percentage of Grenfells living in Cornwall falling from 86%
in 1841 to 53% in 1901.
