Leo Somerset was, and still is, a County in South West England. So the correct form is North Petherton, Somerset, England
We've never used the words County, State, Province etc as part of a place name - but with good old English traditions we have an exception - County Durham. I've certainly seen Somerset referred to in some older documents - such as censuses - as Somersetshire, but not certain that this was ever its official name. Remember that the Geo Location database is US centric - so it thinks that everywhere has the four location format. The nearest that you could get to such a way of phrasing it in this form is North Petherton, Somerset, England, United Kingdom. But this looks ugly and would never be used by anyone in real life.

In the Geo Location Database in Legacy if I try to locate a place in England it will display a place in the following format: City, County, State/Province, Country. North Petherton, , Somerset, England Could this or should this be displayed in my program as follows: North Petherton, Somerset State, England or North Petherton, Somerset Province, England In some family history files/booksI have notced that it is listed as follows: North Petherton, Somersetshire, England Could someone please tell me what is the correct method to use in displaying the name of a place in England.
