Hi Brendan,
Just as a matter of interest what would the address be if sending a letter from abroad; eg. .......Isle of Man, Great Britain?

Only insofar as genealogy has no boundaries. The Isle of Man is a Island in
the Irish sea between UK & Ireland

I am rather late with an answer as have been gone and just getting to my email but would like to know where the "Isle of Man" fits in with this. Is it the equivalent to England, Wales, etc?.
Thank you.

That is super, Ron.
It's a great help laid out like this -- smallest to the largest unit. I
imagine it applies throughout time?
It should be easier for us now to use the right terms <G> all of us
upstarts across the pond.
Appreciate it!

Hi,
Perhaps as a Brit. I can shed a little light on the UK method of naming
places. Strictly speaking we are the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland, however for the purpose of place naming UK can be
regarded as the country within which we have and equivalent to the USA
states - namely England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Within these are the counties such as Derbyshire, Devon, County Durham
etc. Then the towns followed by the parishes, the latter usually being
small local units.
Thus an address would comprise: the street, parish, town, county and
country (England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) and (optionally) UK
There are exception to this in that all cities and some other major towns
are not in counties such that an address in Manchester would comprise: the
street, district (roughly equivalent to a parish), Manchester, England.
Hope that this helps.
