How do we operate this for Category:People from Penge where Penge was both in Surrey first and then Kent until becoming part of London? Regan123 01:38, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
- Where there are anomolies I have tended just to add a little bit of text on afterwards to explain. As it stands, the It was in Kent until 1965 is still true. Also, it is still unclear if Penge was a detatched part of Battersea, Surrey in Kent or just a detatched part of Battersea within Surrey. It is also possible it was part in both Surrey and Kent (some maps I've seen suggest this). However, I'm yet to see a written source which completely explains where it was before the creation of Penge Urban District. MRSC • Talk 13:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

- Friends on mine have an old Surrey map on the wall showing Penge, Anerley and Crystal Palace as being in Surrey from the late 1800s. I think I could just manually add the cat and some text then. Regan123 14:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
