MISSING ORDINANCES................

Ann Gowers ( G6M1 - M4J) married James Roper (G6M1 - M4D). James Roper is my GGG grandfathers older brother.

Back in 2008 I started researching my family line - ROPER. I found (IGI) the sealing of James Roper to Ann Gowers- 15 December 1981 - Mesa, Arizona Temple. I diligently wrote it on the Family Group Sheet. I also found the completed! Temple work for Ann Gowers. (IGI)

Ann Gowers born early 1837 - Great Finborough, Suffolk, England. Bapt 14 May 1837 - Buxhall, Suffolk. (Suffolk Bapt. Index) Died 27 January 1915 - Combs, Suffolk ( UK GRO Death PDF).

Bapt - 31 August 1977 - Salt Lake Temple

Endowed - 11 October 1977 - Salt Lake Temple

STP - 17 January 1978 - Salt lake Temple

The above dates I also added onto the Family Group sheet. All along I have known that Ann's work was 'completed.' Many interruptions later (including the February 2011 earthquake in CHCH, NZ) I finally got back to picking up where I had to stop...for a few years.

So, imagine my surprise ...when, upon entering James and Ann's data - I found that, according to FS, her temple work was not done....and, worse; being done all over again!

Evidence that her work is already done.......

Siblings........ older than Ann - all born in Rattlesden, Suffolk.

Ann Gowers and her 6 younger siblings all born Buxhall, Suffolk.

Ann - bn 1837, etc.

Emma Gowers - (LHWW-BNX) - see her Temple work dates

Rebecca Gowers - (L212-5CH) - see her Temple work dates

Hannah Gowers - (MZT2-VXQ) - see her Temple work dates

Harriott Gowers - (MZTX-TVK) - see her Temple dates

Mercy Gowers - (MZTJ-F16) - see her Temple work dates

William Gowers - (MZTJ-5Z4) - his are slightly different (day only) dates

All the above siblings (bn in Buxhall) would have been 'processed' via the IGI 'system' - hence the same dates for all.......

IGI - Batch number C061932 - lists all these 7 children together.

So, I believe that - somehow - Ann Gowers temple work has been 'separated' from her - in Family Search. PLEASE reinstate as soon as possible.

Also - the sealing of James Roper to Ann Gowers.

Note - Ann's younger sister Harriott married Seth Abra (G3K4-XRW). Their sealing was done 15th December 1981 - Mesa, Arizona Temple.......same day! as James Roper and Ann Gowers.

I hope this is enough evidence to show that the ordinances are already completed.

Thankyou,
