    3. Yes, I can see the sense of putting England rather than UK Victor, but I dont think it hurts to put both as there is a England in the USA and a Scotland as well. If you are an American researcher, you might automatically think the England being referred to is the one in the USA. But definitely to put UK instead of England would be confusing as well. I shall watch not to do that in future. Edie Victor wrote: Every place name should end in England, if that is where it is. UK covers other countries. By putting England. Wales, Northern Ireland or Scotland gives you an idea where the place is. Putting UK alone doesn't help much. Place names followed by the county name does help but doesn't help those who are unfamiliar with the county locations. Whatever anyone decides to do they should make it the same for consistency.
