Find a Grave addresses, England

[Paul 77]

I had asked this question some time back on a FindaGrave forum and the answer was that they are current addresses.
I find it damn annoying when editing or creating grave sites.

But I’d reply (to whoever said that) they’re not “current addresses” at all. So if they really want to use current addresses they should use the post office preferred format, which doesn’t usually use the words “unitary authority” at all. Indeed they rarely even use county names nowadays…

Looks like I may have been mistaken when I stated I asked.

I might have looked at this.

"Historical locations or other civil divisions will not be added to the database. If you need to use an historical location, reference it in the bio of either the cemetery or memorial in question. We currently have no plans to add another civil division. We are working on updating the location database, specifically within the international portion of the database. We do not have a specific estimated time of completion for any given country."

I agree with Paul, very annoying. Especially since our church and graveyard has its own address and postcode. Which does not include "Breckland District Unitary Authority.

Perhaps they should be entering them all as they were before local government reorganisation in 1974 - County councils with the Rural and Urban district councils that came under them and not forgetting London indexed as it was as LCC before the GLC was formed in 1965. 

The problem is then where do you draw the line? Lots of places are historically not part of their 1973 counties.

For example London was a county of its own from 1889 until 1965.

Until 1844 Lindisfarne was part of County Durham, so that is where you'll find it in the 1841 census.
