As you know, Legacy is optimized for four part locations. But you can
enter more than that if you want. GEO just will not find it.
You could enter something like (and I am exaggerating):
Brownsville, Apple Parish, Northern Earth, Countryside, England,
Earth
If you want to. That is six parts. Will GEO find that? Not by a long
shot, but it works. Some people use a location like this:
Palestine Cemetery, Paducah, McCracken County, Kentucky, USA
Yes it works, but it won't sort properly with the other locations, so
I alter that a little bit. Instead I use:
Palestine Cemetery, McCracken County, Kentucky, USA
And that is also four parts.
This is personal preferance, but to me anyway, Great Britain includes
England, Ireland, & Scotland. By avoiding "Great Britain" and using
either England, Ireland, or Scotland instead, you pretty much narrow
down the area. I *try* to avoid using "Great Britain" for that
reason. But it comes down to this: What do *you* prefer? Decide and
use that.
You didn't ask but for that census you provided, I would use (Again
this is personal preferance):
Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church Chatburn, Civil Parish of
Chatburn, Lancaster, England.
But that is entirely up to you.
Does this help?

I have a copy of a 1901 England census from Ancestry.com and the
location is:
Administrative County: Lancaster
Civil Parish of Chatburn
Ecclesiastical Parish of Christ Church Chatburn.
How would I list this in the Location field of Legacy in keeping
with the recommendation for 4 fields (city; county; state or
province; country)? Also, would the country be England or United
Kingdom?
I tried a couple of options but when I clicked on the Geo Location
List button, it didn't seem to find it.
Thanks,
