I personally tend to use the term UK after 1701, because England and Scotland were already merged. You have changed the name to England, and this person was English, so I have no big concern. However for people concerned about official state names, who I do not want to irritate, I suppose the state this man lived in was no longer simply England. Just for example, Wikipedia has an article under the name Kingdom of Great Britain for the state between 1701 and 1801. It also adds: "The websites of the Scottish Parliament, the BBC, and others, including the Historical Association, refer to the state created on 1 May 1707 as the United Kingdom of Great Britain.[12] Both the Acts and the Treaty describe the country as "One Kingdom" and a "United Kingdom", leading some publications to treat the state as the "United Kingdom".[13] The term United Kingdom was sometimes used informally during the 18th century to describe the state." I am not asking for any particular edits or anything, but just wondering.
Thank you for your comment.
I use 'Find my Past' since i need access to the 1921 census, as you are probably aware there is a big problem in getting the information from a family tree on 'FmP' to wikitree. The GEDCOM i use is now nealy 30 years old, apparently i am the only person on wikitree who stores their family tree on 'FmP' - so i suppose i can not expect any changes to be made just for me.
The same is true for the app which you mention 'Sourcer', it worked for a little time, although does not work at present.
It was recommended to me that i duplicate all sources and that did work for some time.
By the way, that link just produces a blank screen - it looks like something that requires an app that my system will not support, so not a lot of use really.
