Recently I have been improving the profiles of my Lincolnshire ancestors and have noticed that there are two Beltons in Lincolnshire. One is near Grantham that does have a category set up for it. However the Belton in the Isle of Axholme, North Lincolnshire doesnt have a category. It would be great if Belton in North Lincolnshire could be created as well as the Isle of Axholme as a category.
Kind Regards

The existing Belton category needs to be renamed to avoid ambiguity - I suggest to "Belton (near Grantham), Lincolnshire".
Can the Lincolnshire team please check that all of the profiles in it belong to the right Belton? The very first one, Ethel May Arrand, has a Registration District of Thorne, which suggests that she is in the wrong category. I will change hers to "Belton (in Axholme), Lincolnshire".
We do not use categories for areas between "place" and "county", so a category for the Isle of Axholme is not appropriate.

Can I ask that Scredington, Lincolnshire be added as a category. Thank Sharren
I noticed that there is no category for Greetham, Lincolnshire, which is a Parish just east of Horncastle, and not to be confused with Greetham, Rutland. Can one be created please, or, would you like me to do it?
Thanks you. Roy
Thank you, and apologies, but I need another one (the apologies are for not realising it when I asked for the last one), namely East Barkwith. Incidentally, I see there also isn't one for West Barkwith, not that I need that one at the moment.
Roy
Absolutely! I will add your name and get you on the trusted list; feel free to add whatever you may be working on. Your 10,000 person tree sounds very interesting (I have a ton of Fletchers there)!
Warm Welcome to Lincolnshire! Fran :)

I have been doing some work on the Lancaster family who were living in the Grimsby / Cleethorpes area in the 19th century. I have Jane (Osborne) Lancaster, born at Clee. When looking at categorization, I see that there is no category for Clee. While today, Clee (now known as Old Clee) is all part of the merged Grimsby / Cleethorpes conurbation, it was a separate village in the 19th century. Should a separate category be created for Clee, therefore?
Thank you in advance. Regards, Roy
By the way, I did create one myself (following the Help instructions) for South Somercotes. I used the North Somercotes one as a template. I think I did it OK, but would appreciate you checking, as so far the WikiMap doesn't seem to find any profiles, and I know there are some.

The place is Spittlegate, Houghton, and Walton, a township and an ecclesiastical parish in Grantham parish, Lincolnshire, adjacent to Grantham. Acreage of township, 2261; population, 6246. Extensive foundries are here, covering an area of about 17 acres, and giving employment to about 1500 workpeople. There are also two breweries, some mailings, ironworks, a corn mill, and some brickfields. See GRANTHAM. Transcribed from The Comprehensive Gazetteer of England & Wales, 1894-5 https://ukga.org/index.php?pageid=22731. Other genealogical websites seem to consider that it is worthy of being a place in its own right, and not just a parish within Grantham.. The record states that S H & W is the event place, whist Grantham is the Registration District. So, do yjou think that accuracy demands the creation of a new category, or should I just use the catchall "Grantham"? Regards Nick Miller
