Sorry, not sure what you mean yet on the tenwang page by local search.
I am confused by this village 东安村, 3 post codes: 水步镇步溪村委会东安村 水步镇独冈村委会东安村 水步镇芦霞村委会东安村
How can one tell which one?

Continuation of my previous post.
3. Once we have the village address, go to google maps and enter the search address 广东省江门市 台山市水步镇长塘村委会 新安村. In this case Xin'an is not found. Expand the search by entering only广东省 江门市 台山市 水步镇长塘. Confirm that the village indicated is the right one by looking for surrounding villages that are listed in either in the heung list in village DB or the tenwang administrative village list.
4. Once the village is located in google maps, take a known reference point, in this case in Shuibu (22.3272, 112.7963), note the relative position of the village to this reference point. Knowing 0.01º latitude change is approximately 1km and at 22º N latitude, 0.01º longitude change is also approximately 1km, adding as one goes eastward and northward and subtracting going westward and southward, it's fairly easy to pin point the latitude, longitude coordinates. For Changtang village, it's ( 22.311, 112.8036). To find Xin'an, there is still some work to do since Changtang Administrative Village has 41 villages.

In general if you are already in a browser, CTL-f or Command-f will take you to the search function. Entering the search text 步溪村委会, your application should find all instances of that text on the current page, 29 matches. If you repeatedly do a find next (exactly how that's done may depend on your operating system and browser), you'll step through all villages under 步溪村委会. Are any of these villages listed in the heung or sub-heung when you do a surname-village search in c-c-c village DB? If not try the same with the other 2 administrative villages. Granted, this method will not 100% error proof, but I think the probability is very high the result is the correct one.

Thank you. Very helpful. Silly me, I keep forgetting about the Ctl-f key. Used before but not often.
