.. to follow up on this and checking Robert Whittaker's email, it does appear that unfortunately the parish name is not in a consistent place in the data.
As he says in his email, Robert is however planning to make available the formats used by each council as a data file, so once this is done I'll present the data in a more meaningful format.

The parish names are taken verbatim from Barry's data. I'll look at some of Barry's files to see if I can pull out a field which is consistently the actual parish name; the one I use is the one that translates to the parish in several councils in this area, e.g. Hampshire, Surrey and West Sussex, though I note that Wiltshire also uses an abbreviation e.g. WHIT for Whiteparish. Nick ________________________________ From: Tony Shield <[email protected]> Sent: 11 July 2018 18:38:02 To: [email protected] Subject: [Talk-GB] MapthePaths & Lancashire Hi Love MapthePaths; in Lancashire the path is presented as "Public footpath, ref 9-8 18", I have manually translated this to the prow_ref of "Charnock Richard FP 18". I have performed this conversion by looking at Barry Cornelius's data file and extracting District and Parish ID's and matched them to the 9-8 element of the ID. I have a spreadsheet of the DIstrict and Parish combinations - is there somewhere I can place it to help others? Alternatively could MapthePaths be modified to use the parish name instead of the District/Parish ID numbers. I noted there are 231 parishes and unparished towns, some with only one footpath. Some of the parish names are mis-spelt eg BYRNING-WITH-WARTON should be Bryning . . .
