Census normally includes the parish name. The parish can be of fleabite size, area- wise!
Death certs yield the info as GIVEN. The Informant gives little thought to the interests of future genealogists......
In Sydney NSW, an inner city suburb is called Esrkineville. Sydney folk know just where that is, but for outsiders we'd just say "SYDNEY"
Cheers.......
