I have traced one of my ancestral lines to Cratfield, Suffolk, England during the early 1500's. While researching Cratfield, I found a variety of location entries, therefore, I am specifically looking for information as to how the people of England correctly identify this location. The following are some of my findings.
Cratfield is a Parish Village, located in the Diocese of Norwich, with the Postal town being Halesworth, in the Shire County of Suffolk, and the Country of England, within the Sovereign State of the United Kingdom. Legacy Geo Code shows Cratfield, ,Suffolk, England FamilySearch Labs Location Finder shows Cratfield, Suffolk, England Others have shown; Cratfield, Halesworth, Suffolk, England Cratfield, Halesworth, Suffolk, United Kingdom Could someone please provide assistance as to how the people of England would have identified this location as it existed in the early years of 1500 - 1550? To my knowledge the Sovereign State of the United Kingdom did not exist during that period, and I further believe that the United Kingdom would be incorrect as the Country is in reality England. It is not my intent to ignite the previous firestorm of International Location controversy, which I followed intently and gained much insight. It is my intent, however, to enter locations in a manner that follows the generally accepted standard among the people of that particular country.
