It would be handy if a poster was to give the county as well as the district.

Sometimes districts straddle counties and even countries.

Since doing this my knowledge of England has got better...Wales not sure about still....It's the small towns and villages which can be difficult, I normally end up googling.

It can also be tricky if there is more than one place with the same name, Like Royston or Newport to name a couple

Researching:
Nothing much

This has been suggested several times ............ and is included in at least one of the stickied "tips" threads


Unfortunately, people simply do not read any times, whether they are provided by GR, by members and stickied, or in posts like this one


It would certainly make our lives much easier if people did include counties and dates ........... and sometimes even the country!!



I used to think it was only men who didn't read instructions ................. but it now seems to be everybody :-D :-D :-D
