Hi Kathryne Events should always be within the registration district covering the location If they tried to register in another district that district should pass the information back to the correct reg district However registration districts were large, they also crossed County barriers in a lot of cases Registration districts also changed over time So using say Sculcoates East Yorkshire when all you have is a registration district is misleading IMHO If I only have the reg district I enter the place as "reg Sculcoates" (no county etc) It is then immediately obvious where the information is from If I then find the actual place of birth later on I amend that and add the place name and the source of that information I still can't understand why anyone would record someones birthplace other than how it was when it happened, just to keep things neat & tidy Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > But, thinking about it, some of these references are from the BMD > districts,haha, might they not have lived there????
