I corrected errors on Family Tree and now I am worried about wrong temple data.

I recently discovered two men with the same name had been mixed up. The sources for both were there listed as one person.

Each had a wife, and that was confusing, so two wives were given to the same man and his data was changed to make sense.

I separated them by giving one wife the right husband. A merge was never involved in the main problem, just changing of data.

But sources were listed for both marriages, and it was a mess. It also caused temple work date problems.

I have adjusted the research problems, and am left with mixed up temple data, because of how the problem occurred and WHEN it occurred.

The temple work now is the complicated part, as near as my brain can tell.

The two couples are: both men named William Singer and each with a wife, one Margaret Duel and one Peggy unknown. Born different times/states.

William Singer b.1803ish in PA:     K42L-LXR     and Margaret Duel  LX3S-MMQ  

WIlliam Singer b. 1782 in VA: G8VP-5ZY          and    L1Y2-TZ5  

THE PROBLEM NOW: William and Margaret born early 1800s have temple work based on info for William and Peggy b. 1782ish. So they probably need to be

submitted again??? Except that in their marriage the sealing would be correct because the sealing to spouse was done in the extracted marriage time period.

Also: My original work dealt with the daughter Amelia born in 1827 to the PA/OH couple, and her sealing to parents date is wrong, because at the time she was

sealed the parents had been changed to the ones living in KY, born in 1782ish.

I hope you can help me.

    Margaret Duel, the wife of K42L-LXR still has the same problem.

    But maybe you only mean that William is correct so far? I guess so.

    THANK YOU

    @MWGreen,

    Margaret Duel's individual ordinance information would not change, because they were completed in her name, but the Sealing to Spouse date matches that of her spouse. All should be correct.

    Oh, you mean because she was listed as a second wife to the altered William Singer, she was herself all along? I guess that would be true if she was listed as being born about 1809 in NY or OH. This is certainly tricky to think about. One has to know exactly how she was listed at that time? And in my mind might mean she needed to be a certain age, married to her real husband and having the children she had. But I get confused thinking about it.

    Thank you for your help.
