Among the farmers of England and Wales, 1880s

Mundy was found among the farmers of 5 counties.

It was most frequent in Hampshire: 30 in every 10,000 farmers there — about 1 in 333. Guppy counted the farmers listed in each county’s directory and recorded a name only where it reached about 7 in every 10,000; where it does not appear, it was rarer than that, not absent. His list gives one count for the spellings Munday and Mundy.
