You are correct (but not in your naming), so lets get pedantic:

* Kingdom of Britain is 1707-1801
* The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland 1801-1922 (official name change in 1927)
* The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 1922(27) - now

Since this article quoted 1900, then you will find that the title I posted above is the correct one for the time frame.

Fair point, I was wrong.

In fairness theres a bit more to it than nomenclature I'm not sure its something you colonials would understand.

Also a fair point. Especially when talking to English people who don't quite understand the Union and think that England owns the UK. England doesn't even have a Parliament.
