Source Tagging issues [non-indexed sources] for LBQ8-J9F Thomas Lancelot Sherwood
Thomas Lancelot Sherwood (1895—1972) PID LBQ8-J9F [https://www.familysearch.org/en/tree/person/details/LBQ8-J9F] showed a Source Tagging issue 'This person has a residence that is not supported by any tagged indexed sources.'
I originally thought it might be the absence of a tag for the marriage and added a URL to the (indexed) source. However, this causes a second warning to appear under Source Tagging: 'This person has a marriage that is not supported by any tagged indexed sources.'
On reflection, the first error is probably not the marriage source but a web URL-based source for his residence at the Orphan Institute at Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Northumberland, England. (It references a newspaper archive for an image mentioning his election [= acceptance] into the school. Other evidence is also available, though also not indexed here, nor indeed elsewhere, in his personnel file from the City of London Police.
The second error is interesting because it only appeared after adding a source for the marriage at the Marylebone Register Office, London, England.
The index to the marriage is in fact available on this site (the index to the civil register of Marriages England and Wales), but there is no obvious way to add the source (which is now attached to his record) as evidence of the marriage, except via the external URL method.
I have not yet attempted to dismiss these warnings, although this often failed with a generic error message (a HAL-like "Can't do that Dave" response).
Any reflections would be valued.

I must admit that the marriage index entry given as a source does not directly prove the specific date of the marriage noted in his record since these indexes are per quarter and for the Registration District rather than a specific address. However, the index points to the entry which can be obtained (with a little more difficulty than those for births and deaths). In this case, I have a copy of the relevant image of the civil register for this marriage and the index is provided with a statement to that effect.

@FrankLittle thank you as always for your feedback. Here is your residence alert culprit:
While the residence shows as attached source. This is not a FS indexed source. (pain point) currently FS doesn't play well with outside sources, even though this is an excellent source. Your current option is to dismiss the alert. But I will put this in to see if FS is making progress towards 'outside' sources.
The marriage alert is a bit puzzling. I wouldn't think that adding additional information would trigger an alert. We'll have a look

@Rhonda Budvarson My thanks. Meanwhile @Áine.ní.Donnghaile kindly resolved the tagging of the marriage, so you will not see the error. If I find another example I'll post it here.
I should have realised that the external source would be the problem. I think that (regardless of a solution for external sources) it would really help if the warning messages were to indicate which of the entries was the cause of the warning message. Perhpas that's difficult to implement right now but for the future it would be good to have.

Unfortunately the error cannot be dismissed. It triggers the black texted "something went wrong" message.
