I feel the same way about accuracy and recording locations as they were at that specific time in history.

I have, for example, in my records, Saddleworth, Yorkshire, England and Saddleworth, Lancashire, England both locations being the same but after a shift in the county boundary. Both are correct at their respective times. I have a note to say they are the same place. I agree that it might look messy, but it is accurate, and as far as I am concerned that is the important point.
