One of my English lot seemed to stay in Essex as far as I can sort. Another I can’t find a lot on but mostly Sussex and another I can find nothing but they say they came from Somerset. The others were Cabrach in Scotland and Kerry in Ireland and Germany.
Hubby’s Ariel family went from on end of England to the other looking for wives. I have the Sawrey and Kirkbys from the Lake District ( then Lancs) and the Naylors from Yorkshire. They then ended up with the Ariel lot from Bristol.
My Huband lot were originally from Warwickshire. Seemed to be there for generations, then my ancestor went to the Royal Marines and ended up in East Stonehouse, married a woman from many generations of Devon people, and her son married a girl from Cornwall.
Once in Australia they mixed in with each other. First fleet convicts and wealthy land owners all muddled in together.
