Records indexed wrong.

I have a "Montana County Marriage Record" that was indexed wrong. The image has two pages for two different couples. The indexer mixed the name for one of the pages with the other. Most of the people I have been able to edit and correct, but one spouse does not have an edit option, so I can not correct it. CAN ANYBODY CORRECT THIS? Everybody that I have contacted at Family Search tells me that this can't be fixed. If this is true then it needs to be changed. Wrongly indexed information is worse than no information. When people use this wrong information it soon migrates across the web and everyone copies this wrong information. It is much harder to correct than if it hadn't been put out there in the first place.

    Hi @Dale A. Wood Would you mind attaching the link to the page that is incorrect. I would love to look at it to see if anything can be done.

    Hi MaileLoveland.

    Here is the link to the record. The spouses name, "Blanch Margaret Jones" is the part that is wrong.
