Change of boundaries

[suttontrust]

I have ancestors from Lea in Gloucestershire which, after a redrawing of the boundaries, found itself in Herefordshire.  Can someone tell me when the change took place, please?  And what is the convention when putting these sort of entries on ones tree?  Should I describe Lea as being in Gloucestershire (as it was when they were born) or in Herefordshire (as it was when they were older)?

Thanks - should have found that myself.  Any ideas on my second question?

I suppose that a family tree is history and should show facts as they were. I have ancestors whose villages moved from Herefordshire to Gloucestershire and back and I always show them as having been born in the county in which they were at that time. People who have ancestors born in London have most of them in Middlesex and some in Surrey and that is how they are found on censuses. So I always show mine as Middlesex before 1895 and London thereafter.

I am getting very forgetful these days. You can learn more than you will ever wish to know about Lea at this URL:

Again, many thanks.
