I am always offered a selection of wrong answers (apart from all being in the UK) and never the place I have chosen, despite having entered the exact same location deatils many times before, when I update places of births and deaths. Is this a known glitch?

Hi, JamesMMM. Supposing it is not a known glitch, could you name a specific example of the problem?

If I add "Paddington, London, England, UK" as a place of birth for someone, I am advised that it does not exist in the database and get offered the same 10 other options (nearly all of which are UK film studios) whatever place of birth I put (all though they are mostly UK places of birth). The only time this did not happen was when I put in a single country place of birth ("Eritrea").
As you can see, there are plenty of people born in Paddington, London, England, UK.

I'm not able to replicate this perceived glitch.

It turns out that Paddington was not the best choice as it also works. Try Pancras, London, England, UK'.

It works for a few other places as well.

Okay. "Pancras, London, England, UK" reflects the glitch.
