Can anyone see where the computer is getting a residence of Kirkdale in Henry Cook's Bio - KWJX-RXP

I'm looking at the brief history (the computer generated one) in family search for Henry Cook - KWJX-RXP. It says he lived in Kirkdale, Liverpool in 1891. I'm thinking I better check into this because that is a long way from Birmingham. I'm looking in the sources to see where the computer pulled it from and I can't find it. Can anyone else. Thanks!

    The AI generated bio gets information from the individual's "Custom Events" section, which would include Residence. I had one the other day that the AI generation interpreted "Northern States Mission" to "Northern Sudan" …. We laughed and then fixed it.

    Two things will throw off the About biography which were both answered by @Áine Ní Donnghaile and @melville,dl

    1. The biography comes from the profile page, not the sources so don't bother looking in the sources for that information. You have to look for it in the Vital, Other Information, and Family Members section of the profile page. Correcting the information on the Profile page will correct the biograpy
    2. The biography, at least the last time I checked, pulls the standardized place name linked to the displayed place name, not the actual place name you see on the profile page. If the incorrect standard is linked, then the biography will be incorrect. Correcting the linkage will correct the biography.

    (If you are not familiar with the display/standard linkage function, this is what allows you to enter "1423 North State Street, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States" as a place name linked to the standard of "Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah, United States." The long version will appear on the profile page but only the short version will appear in the biography.)

    The residence in the 1891 census reference is Liverpool. It appears a different 1891 census WAS attached, from Liverpool. The 1891 attached to him now is Warwickshire. That residence needs to be removed, if that census was not correct.

    OK I got it. It was below the vitals in other information. The other information tabs was in the closed position so I couldn't see it. Thanks everyone for your help!

    It's so much easier when we can post screenshots to illustrate what we see. I hope that option eventually is fixed.
