Topic: Political boundaries wrong

I may be missing something, but the GB political boundaries for this (my!) record are wrong, but the England ones are okay?

(Interestingly I got this record by filtering to the correct - Lincolnshire - vice-county boundary?)

Re: Political boundaries wrong

Hi Charlie,

The GB boundaries are showing as:

West Lindsey District
SKNE
North Lincolnshire

I think those are correct - was it showing something different when you looked at it? Any difference might be because the record index was being changed but I have also occasionally seen incorrect boundaries and never been able to recreate it.

Best wishes, Sophie

Ooo that's spooky! Yes, they are correct now (would have helped if I had said 'how' they were wrong ....). If I notice it again, I'll report it if they - they were Scotland so way out, but no obvious reason why.

Just thinking more about this - I came across the record via an email alert for new records, which would tie in with the idea that the record index was being updated?

Thanks Charlie, that gives Helen a bit more to investigate.
