Yes, Norfolk is a county, Barry. Usually, when people post photographs, they list the name of the village followed by the county in order to identify where it...
Hi Barry, Yes, we have counties. A little smaller than yours though, and the administrative implications are somewhat different as well. No electric chairs in...
Yes. Norfolk is a county, and Hempstead is a place name. Some place names are in more counties, f.e. Hempstead is a place in Hertfordshire and a place in...
Barry, Mr Neil is currently on the road in wild Wales and may not be able to reply yet. URC = United Reformed Church, i.e. the union of what used to be called...

Someone has pictures of this Edimburg church (is the correct spelling?)? thanks Fôlton [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
... It is completely unfair. And to draw an analogy between the state of Ohio and English counties is way off the mark. Ohio is divided into counties but two...
I feel I may have been harsh but not unfair. I appreciate your discourse on County boundaries, but I suspect that it will be unintelligible to anyone who...
.... not to mention what the Government did to the `Celtic fringes': so that the ancient counties of Radnorshire, Montgomery and Brecon, each with their own...
Sorry, I was at work so I have read the mailings late this afternoon. For Dutch place names I never have to search, I know exactly in what province they are....
... I completely agree! He says this piece of it wasn't really that tough, which alarms me a bit because if he teaches me how to do such a thing, I might never...
... I will ask David to write up a layman's version of the gorey details. I'm not sure how far he and his students will get. But *his* goal for putting this...

... Where is the "t" in Hampshire???! This is *exactly* the problem! ... And no "a" here. Are these some sort of bizarre philological remnant of Saxon or Celt?...
... **chuckles** I think I can safely say that I'm well-versed in the use of Google. But for me, the huge advantage of having the "Why is Hampshire Hants?"...
Well Marion's answer was exactly what I was looking for. But your answer here was a bit rude. No offense taken though. Yes I could have Googled it, or...
