I use the historical address given at the time on the certificate - my area changed, but it's still the address on my birth certificate. I only use RD (Registration District) etc in sourcing my document, not sure how you could incorporate that into an "address" that's just the place the event was "registered". "Parish church of", what's the name of the Parish church, where is it situated(?). I think if you want actual addresses (after 1837) I would get a copy of the certificate which usually gives the person's actual address. (BTW Lots of times the baptism record will give the person's address or location). An address for the church should be easy to find today online if you're trying to add the event location (marriage, baptism - no one is born in a church so wouldn't be considered birthplace). Lots of times children were born one place and taken elsewhere (i.e. another village) to be baptized. England....if in England. Just my two bits!
