Paul, In case you don't know, I am English, and in my long time experience the so called "four field convention" which encourages one to use doesn't work for us, so forget it. Secondly, using the Address Book means that including them in reports is restricted, and in my view is situated inappropriately. Having got that off my chest, I recommend that you use the British address format for the place and put iit in the Location Field, and I find it best to include the house/road in that field so that it looks like:
2 Park Road, Winton, Eccles, Salford, Lancashire, England. For your hospital: Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading, Berkshire, England. Your registration: Rochford Registration District, Essex, England. In the last case case I recommend that "Rochford RD" is not used as it may be interpreted as "Rochford Rural District". To make the Location List easier to read I recommend that you set it up to read from right to left, so you then have the order: Country, County, City/Town, etc. Hope this helps. Ron Ferguson BTW please post in Plain Text as per the constantly broken rules for this list. _____________________________________________________ *New* Tutorial: Add Location Pins to Google Earth http://www.fergys.co.uk Includes the family tree for Alan J Grimshaw And the Fergusons of N.W.

I have no problem with entering Reading, Berkshire, England in the place for births/baptism/cenus etc etc but what about more specific locations such as Royal Berkshire Hospital? How you enter this ? as an address? I would prefer this to be on report but maybe not all the time. One other thing, when using the English/Welsh birth, marriage, death registers you have a place of say, Rochford, Essex, England as a register of birth/marriage/death as this is the registry district but it may well be they were born in, say, Hawkwell as its a village wouldnt be a registry district. I would like a way to use this data but to be certain its not used as its their actual place for the event (hope that makes sense!). Any help would be gratefully received.
