Mar 28, 2025Answer 047
Whilst filing in our documents to correct your political status; you need to use your historic town name (not a metropolitan metropolis name)
Please use correct town name when filling documents.
a) The historic town you are on is the now often known as the historic and still current area you live,
For [London] Examples Leytonstone, Maida Vale, Soho etc
For[ birmingham] example Erdington. Edgbaston etc
For [manchester] examples ;Salford , Ardwick Bradford etc
do not use . [london manchester bimingham ]as these all cover multiple historic counties . and makes your paperwork less powerful.
b) You are looking for your HISTORIC COUNTY you live on
Everywhere in greater London Greater Birmingham Greater Manchester are on an historic English county. Except the City of London Square Mile

It is important to note, at this point, that our Historic Counties are fundamentally different from either Administrative or Ceremonial Counties and exist entirely within the Law of the Land. Making this distinction is essential to ensuring your return to the actual, factual Land and Soil of the English Counties and we ask that you check your postcode using https://wikishire.co.uk/lookup/ to confirm your location with regards to our Historic County Boundaries.
