Just to make conversation.............. is it possible to explain the "AND"
part of 'England and Wales'.
My husband has a Godson who was born in N'Hampton and a friend who was born
in Powys. But neither one of them were born in N'hampton and Powys, and they
do not know of anyone who was, for that matter.....
You see, being from the Colonies, we have a rather simplistic view of birth.
A person can be born either here OR there..... OR even somewhere on that
special occasion; but never here AND there. Extended traveling labors
(labours) excluded, of course.
