[LegacyUG] How to record local government changes?

[Roy Ayres]

I have many instances of places that have changed which UK county they 
belong to during the course of the 19th and 20th centuries. So far I have 
recorded them as they appear on the original document, whether census or 
BMD. For example I now have entries for both "Greenwich, Kent" and 
"Greenwich, London". But these are the same place - I should know because 
it's my local area. In some cases they refer to the same physical house, at 
the same number and road.

It gets worse when dealing with 19th century locations like "London, 
Middlesex", which could be almost anywhere in north London now.

Is there any standard approach to take with these so I don't end up getting 
totally confused?

My current thoughts are to somehow combine them as, for example "Greenwich, 
London (Kent until whenever)"

My brain hurts!
