But[edit]
Please use the preview button to check your edits before you save. If a link that worked before is now red, it means that you have made a typo. See also wp:pipe, which explains where you went wrong at river Great Ouse. --08:13, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
Historic Northamptonshire[edit]
If you fancy digging into the history of Northants villages to find evidence for old names like e.g. Shitlanger, the Victoria History of the Counties of England is good (though a bit heavy going in the details), but the 'names through the ages' up front is always clear. For an example, see citation 1 at Furtho. You might also find A Vision of Britain through Time useful though I find its administrative boundaries focus unhelpful. I didn't check Shitlanger, btw, but it doesn't surprise me. Woburn Sands in MK had its name changed from "Hogsty End" – well I'm hardly surprised!
While I think of it, if you are doing current populations, {{NOMIS2011}} makes short work of citing the census. 'Britain through Time' has historic populations. --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 12:40, 29 August 2020 (UTC)
