Duplicate marriage bug [closed]

This lady was uploaded twice; once with her own family, and again with her husband's family. I then merged both her, and her husband.

That is normally no problem but this time she is showing as having  the same husband twice. I am unable to get rid of this duplicate marriage. Help!

Hi John, I hope to help.

Right now she shows no husbands.

At one point you had linker her as the wife of Barry Leslie Norman-4283

Now she does not show a marriage to him, but he is shown as being married to a "private" wife.

Is it possible. that there is a 2nd profile for Diana, the one linked to above and the one marked as "private" that is married to Barry? (because it is private I can't see who it is)

This is a bug that happens sometimes with merging (especially since the marriage data is in a separate table) -- because the old profiles don't go away, they are merely redirected. So the old ID is still somehow attached.

But because of the privacy level, we can't see, or assist directly.

Still the problem should be easy to remedy -- simply disconnect the relationship(s), and then reconnect them.

Many thanks for that. This time when I deleted the 'wrong' marriage it disappeared, so everything is now ok.
