Is there a website that will tell me what counties certain towns are in? I'm talking about towns today, not 100 years ago. I found some that I think are listed wrong, but I don't know how to check. Can anyone help please?

I checked Multimap and TheAA, but neither give me the county, just the town name.

I'm looking for some places on 192 and it's down as Clwyd. There's another down as Dyfed. I never even heard of that one lol I'm trying to work out what's right. Having said that, it had Oldham in Cheshire instead of Lancashire lol
