Sometimes it might give witnesses and where they were from - but not always. Going back to the fact that Lamberhurst is in Kent, but a friend said that county boundarys have changed.

Sorry if I am being silly but aren't Lamberhurst and Gouldhurst in Kent?

To quote from Google:
"Until 1894 the Kent and East Sussex boundary ran through the village [Lamberhurst], when it was decided that the village must belong to either one county or the other. As hop growing was the main industry of the day, and hops in Kent were fetching a better price than in Sussex, Lamberhurst became part of Kent.
