Something, somewhere has gone horribly wrong.
I was taking a look at my family tree and came across Irene Jones, 1929 Wolverhampton
after realising there was a bad connection somewhere I tried to fix it and it seems I've pulled on a thread that's just getting worse and worse. I think the problem stems from Herbert Henry Brookes where he's been duplicated multiple times. It seems that I might need some help from someone in fixing this.

Often, the descendancy tree view is helpful. Here we see duplicates of this couple's sons Frederick Brooks and Thomas Brooks.

Herbert Henry Brooks, GFBW-6NG, does not appear to have been duplicated. Instead, he is attached to 7 children with wife Martha Bould, GFB7-8HW, and he is also attached to 4 children with no mother for them.
Martha Bould is also attached to 2 children with no father attached for them.
If all the children are issue of the union of Herbert Henry Brooks and Martha Bould, they need to be attached to both parents. That will clear up most of the display issues.
Then, it appears that one child, William Brooks, has been duplicated.

Their son Herbert Henry Brooks G4FK-NH8 is attached to both parents, but separately. The remedy there is to copy the PID of one parent into the spouse position on the other parent.

A good rule of thumb for detangling is to work from the children. For each child inspect and correct their relationships to their parents.

I've figured out the issue now, it turns out that yes there was a descedancy issue as pointed out and also Hannah Brookes had an erroneous entry that claimed she'd had Irene jones not with John Jones which is not the case. This is now fixed, thanks for the help and pointers!
