The IGI shows that between 1600-1750 Newcastle was the main Broket centre with 18 marriages and 28 baptisms. Thereafter numbers dwindled there and from 1750-1849 Earsdon (3 m N of North Shields) with its colliery was the main centre with 14 marriages and 9 baptisms, followed by Gateshead, Durham and Sunderland. Numbers declined in all these from 1850-1949, when the only clan was in Hartlepool with 20 marriages and 42 baptisms.
