 Imp a retired Geography teacher who has reinvented himself doing English
surname research.
I am in desperate need of county boundary files, either pre or post 1974.
Does anyone know of a source? I am using Mapinfo.

 Howard,

I dont think you'll find a 'free' version as the Ordnance Survey
creates this data and includes it with their BoundaryLine product. The
OS do have some raster images that you could use in MapInfo
http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/freefun/outlinemaps/index.html

I also thought that MapInfo came with some sample data that included
county boundaries, though I could be mistaken.
