Why has the automatic place search suddenly disappeared when I'm entering places of birth and death? This was so useful. :-S |

Ancestry have a similar function which is quite good on historical counties offering the option of, say, South Yorkshire or Yorkshire West Riding. Less helpfully for many of the customers it tells them that GGF lived in Surrey / Middlesex / Kent when they thought he lived in London lol. |

Can I add that I left the UK in 1967 ............... and in many cases county lines and even names have changed since that time. |

I didn't like the automatic place.... and I often wondered if the people who set it up had ever looked at a map. |

Another complication (which I kept correcting on Ancestry until I understood) was how many of our North Northumberland family were listed with the correct place name but described as being in Co. Durham. At last I found out that many of the sources were from church records and much of the area earlier came under the Bishopric of Durham. |
