Free 19th-century boundary tool goes online
A series of maps displaying historic boundaries across England can now be viewed online. Available free of charge, the London FamilySearch Centre’s Jurisdiction Maps tool allows users to view the precise locations of counties, civil registration districts, hundreds and Poor Law Unions as they appeared in 1851. Crucially for researchers, each map is superimposed on top of Google satellite imagery, meaning that it is possible to zoom in and view locations as they appear today. Test it out here.
