Inaccurately Transcribed Marriage Record

I have come across a relative's marriage record on familysearch.org

Unfortunately it is not transcribed properly

It lists his age as 21

It lists his birth date as Jan 2014 (that is what is typed for his DOB)

On the "preview" screen it lists his DOB as Jan 1814

It lists her age as 26

It lists her birth date as May 1926 (that is what is typed for her DOB)

It lists their marriage date of 26 Oct 1890

Parents names are correct

1900 Census lists

His DOB as July 1868

Her DOB as Apr 1869

How can this be corrected on familysearch.org's end

    It would be great if you would include the URL of the record so we can see what you see. Depending on the record set, you may be able to edit/correct the issue.
