The Index column shows the relative probability of finding someone called FROHOCK 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 FROHOCK as if you picked at random from the whole of the UK.
