Hi Tommy! Thanks so much for your work in improving our shared tree!

Tommy, you wrote "I would like to show you one example when adding register district on locations birth or death make no sense. This woman's death, Elizabeth Henrietta Price, was registered in Southampton. Meanwhile she died in the wreck of ship Hilda in Saint Malo, France. I checked the distance, it is more then 307 km.

For this reason I claim that the place of registration is not the same as the place of birth or death. I suppose, too, if somebody die in a car accident 200 miles from home his family will register it in own district not in district of accident."

Tommy, you really need to learn about how deaths are registered in England if you continue to create English profiles. The bodies of Edith Price and her husband were recovered from the sea and taken to Southampton, the nearest English port. There they had a Coroner's inquest and the Coroner issued the death certificates with the details of how they were drowned when the SS Hilda was wrecked at St Malo. This is why they had their death certificates issued at Southampton (from the contemporary newspaper reports which are easily found online). It is rude to say that "registration districts make no sense" when you don't bother to work out why the registration happened where it did. And from the death registration you can pin-point the place of death if you investigate.

You are incorrect with your second assumption. A death within the land mass of the UK is registered in the Registration District in which the event occurred. My uncle had his death recorded at the football match he was attending some 15 miles from where he lived. The same ruling applies to births and marriages.
