    I put the incorrect date of marriage for Harold E. Pickett and Marie B. May. And there is no option to correct the misinformation.

    Reference: Harold Emerson Pickett JrMale9 August 1925 – 2007 •GM94-3C8

    Harold E. Pickett married Marie B. May on November 21, 1984 in Dallas, Texas.

    Please advise how to correct the source data.

    Thank you,

    I don't quite understand your question. I checked out the ID for Harold E. Pickett and no Marriage Event detail appears on the page. There is a marriage source attached for the couple, dated 21 June 2002, so all you need to do is add that to the Marriage Events section if it is correct. If they married twice (previously on 21 November 1984) you can add that event, too. However, the date displayed on the Details pages (of Harold and Marie) will always be for any earlier dated event.

    One other point is that if you believe the 2002 date (shown in the attached source) is incorrect, there is no way to edit it: you just keep it attached and add a note explaining it was indexed incorrectly.

    Please explain you problem in more detail if I have misunderstood the issue.

    @Koy Miskin, you don't. You go to the profile details page of one of the spouses and click the edit (pencil) button below their names in the Family Members section.
