This MAY explain why I have only one instance of the extra (it takes too long to type superfluous every time! LOL) 'someone'. It is possible, but I really don't believe very likely, that I added a marriage date before adding the name of the spouse. As I've said in other posts - my usual order of operation is add child to a family, add spouse (if known) then when marriage screen appears, add date and location if known. In this instance I received all of the above information at one time from one source so I can think of no reason for not following my usual procedure.

Simple - it is the act of adding the Marriage (anything including ?) before the spouse is entered. It is the Prog assuming that a Marriage has occurred without a Spouse (RIN) that sets the wording. The fact that a Spouse is added after does not re-set the wording. I just proved that you do not even have to add a child to show this fault. I tried all manner of lines, brackets & dots (Periods) etc. all were allocated a RIN. In fact Square brackets with a row of Periods looks great to prompt for an update entry to a tree. I reset the wording behind the Override Tab back to "Married" before each try.

In the case of them being married, and no underscore, it simply stated "Sarah Ann married", and when set to unmarried "Sarah had a child". When the underscore was set then it produced "Sara Ann married ____________" or "Sarah had a child with______________". I cannot tke this any further without knowing: 1. under what circumstances are you seeing "someone" 2. your settings in Options>Customise>View for an unknown spouse/partner 3. your settings on the individual's marriage screen.
