You can always manually place the icon using right click on the correct
spot after dragging the map to the correct place. My trick when a place
will not plot correctly is to temporarily edit the name to get legacy to
plot the place near where I want. So for your first case I would
temporarily change the name to Tooyay and have Legacy Geocode the place.
Once the place is correctly plotted I would edit the name to Newcastle.
You can do something similar for the properties, give a place name near
by, have Legacy plot it, drag the map to the property location then
right click to have Legacy change the icon position.

What's the best practice for preserving the older place names while still
mapping them accurately?
An Australian example, the current ton of Toodyay near Perth in Western
Australia was known as Newcastle, and I have some people with that connection,
around the late 1800s.
Also commonly used by country people then and now, is their property name (pastoral/grazing/cropping, etc) -
for example, "Summerhill", New Norcia, Western Australia, Australia (or, "Pankee" - also
close to New Norcia). I tend to record as shown, but I "lose" the ability to place them
geographically via Legacy.
