I left my street addresses alone even though there are a lot of inconsistencies in them such as the same street number and name, but might be listed as both southeast and northeast.
I also put my cemetery names back into locations and also use the burial location (the plus sign to the right of burial date on the Individual's Information page.

It is pointless doing all that work unless you get value from your time and effort. So Test the Reports, try re-sorting the Master Location List - is the output meaningful and helping you advance your research? Will you get better results from "Location" or "Address"? Everyone has their own slant, depending on their needs and the character of their Family File. I have never used the fields for "Address", can't see the point! I like everything in the one List. It is worth reiterating, the "Four Field Standard" was developed for USA Locations and even there, it is a poor fit. But Legacy is infinitely flexible, and allows 9 ( nine ) fields in Locations. So my Locations include what's in the records, down to the street and exact house number, sometimes 6 or 7 fields. When I "Sort" or reverse the List, I can see everyone who lived in that street and the house they occupied. Currently, I have 278 Trees in my Family File. Many of these people will be duplicated and/or related, not yet proved. Seeing where they lived - and who were the neighbours - can throw up clues.
