But unless the "event" took place in the modern UK, why would you even consider putting it into the location field? The country such as England should be the last entry in the location field. So my grandmother was born in 1881 in:
Saint Vincent Villa, Lynton, Devon, England And yes, although I am in the US and the majority of my locations are in the US, I have chosen to completely ignore the 4-field location format. This same grandmother is buried in: Elmlawn Cemetery - 3939 Delaware Avenue, Kenmore, Erie County, New York, USA In addition, I always record the event location as it was at the time of the event. I have entries for events that took place in each of the following locations (listed latest to oldest), although they each mean the same place, just at different times of history when the event took place: Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan, USA Detroit, Wayne County, Michigan Territory, USA Detroit, Wayne County, Indiana Territory, USA Detroit, Wayne County, Northwest Territory, USA Detroit, British North America Fort Ponchartrain du Detroit, New France Each of these is entered separately in my Locations master list. This works for me but let's all keep in mind that Legacy is very flexible in almost all aspects. What works for me might not work for you!
