My problem, all those years ago, was that when I entered a location as "Morden, Surrey, England" Legacy was able to deduce that Morden was a town. However, if I entered "High Street, Morden, Surrey, England", Legacy assumed that the town was High Street, and this confused the issue somewhat.
The advice I was given then was to only put towns in the location field and so I spent a couple of weeks straightening it all out and here I am. I would love to go back to the old scheme, but the 4-field location means that I would have to put random commas in the middle of addresses which have no rational reason for being there. Everyone says how wonderfully flexible Legacy is and, in most cases, this is true. However, in one of the most important areas of genealogy, getting locations correct, Legacy is about as flexible as a 6-inch I-Beam. The really annoying thing is that it would be so simple to fix. Anyway, I'll get off my soapbox and get back to the issue in question. The simplest way, I guess, would be to have a location of "At Sea", use the death address field for more info on the location as and when that becomes available and put the rest into Medical Notes/Death Cause. Thanks for the advice.
