.. as you may have noticed there are four different ID´s for Nat Mode ... one is his infant baptism and contains the names of his parents .. One is the one to Jenny Ashton as his spouse ans the other two are to Jenny Shaw ..
The last tree show him as father, right ..?

No, but as spouse for his marriage in Mottram in Longdendale, Cheshire, England on the 27 th of May 1810 ..

... so there are multiple entries for the same marriage ... and to none of them the - now available- digital image is linked and put into a source ..

... and most of those recommended sources do not even contain that digital image ..

... so for the documented marriage some of those entries with differnt ID´s can and should probably be merged into one, if you know how to ..

... and all those blue recommended sources that recommend the same "happening" should be linked to those persons by the familysearch source linker ..

... that multiple "stuff" exists for historical reasons and as you can see is from familysearch before the year 2012 ..

The one for his marriage to Jenny Shaw, film number 1736979 does have the image linked to it. I’m wondering if the one to Jenny Ashton is an error

The one that's not on the image is an indexing error.
The reason there are multiple Nats in Family Tree is legacy data.
On one of the predecessors of FS's current Family Tree, many index entries were turned into profiles. The people from a single event -- parents and baptised child, bride and groom -- were linked together, but there were many duplicates, because each baptism had its own parents, for example. There was no process for combining such duplicates on that old system.
When the current Family Tree was started, circa 2012, the data from the preceding system(s) was imported without change, creating lots of little floating twiglets of index-based duplicates.
Because of these index-based legacy profiles, Family Tree enshrines all of the errors in the older indexes. The profiles are completely mechanical: if Pablo was misindexed as female, his profile is marked female, and when the indexers were completely ignorant of Latin, you get profiles for Anna Ignotus, child of Pater Ignotus and Anna Szabo. (Pater ignotus means "father unknown".) (Yes, these are actual examples. There are many thousands of profiles for Pater Ignotus in Family Tree.)
You can help clean up some of this mess by merging all of the Nats and Jennys into one couple, with the surname for Jenny matching what's on the image.
