Make a Data Error for Marriage Date After Death Date

LegacyUser

Jordi Kloosterboer said: Jenneke Looijen had two marriage events, one (1847) was correct, and the other (1877) was after her death. The one that was after her death was actually her husband marrying another time (the second time after her death actually). So, it was obviously mistakenly put on the wrong relationship. This should bring a data error up, but it does not!

Yes, please! This is very needed.

For example, Hannah Butterworth (9XPF-SB9) died in Feb. 1709, but a second marriage was added that occurred in Dec. 1709. This was not caught, and the Sealing to Spouse ordinance was carried out. Having a DATA ERROR for this case would have prevented this. Thanks!

A good general point, but in this case (in England and other countries) February 1709 followed December 1709 in the church calendar. The year runs from 25 March to 24 March in most parish registers. Many records have been indexed inconsistently for this period, so what we now call February 1709/10 is often recorded as February 1709 (as recorded in a parish register) or sometimes as February 1710 (which is how, say, 11 February 1709/10 "standardizes" when inputted in this format in Family Tree).

Of course, an indexed "February 1709" date could also possibly mean the event took place in February 1708/09. So, possibly not so straightforward if your relative was born in the January - March quarter at this period!
