Incorrect marriage information for KHJC-QTS and K653-ZXJ

This couple was never married. In Pedigree view it says they were married in Nottinghamshire, England, United Kingdom. However, when I navigate to their Person Page, it says "Not Married", which is the correct information. After looking through the "latest changes", I can find nothing to indicate where this information could have come from. What can I do to correct this on the Pedigree View?

    Are you sure the pedigree view doesn't just indicate a couple relationship, given that marriages in FS are just events? I did try to have a look but for some reason it's not working (maybe they are living people).

    Elmer Isaiah Hevner KHJC-QTS had 3 spouses/partners according to the FSFT. There is a 1915 marriage listed to LVSB-ZZJ, and a 1952 marriage listed to L1NW-BFF. There is a child born 1908 noted with K653-ZXJ but no marriage on the individual profiles.

    In landscape view, I also see a marriage place but no date. Opening the Couple Relationship tab, that marriage place is listed as having been last changed on 29 Feb 2016 by contributor Beverly Hevner1. I can remove it or you can @Beverly Hevner1.

    Attaching images is still broken, so I'll paste the text:

    Marriage
    Not married

    Standardized Data

    Nottinghamshire, England, United Kingdom

    It's because the text "not married" is entered as the place of their marriage, and that text has been associated with Nottinghamshire as the standardized placename.

    All place fields on FS's Family Tree have two values: the display text and the background, database entity (what FS calls the "standardized place"). The former can be highly detailed and specific, or use a variant spelling or placename; it is what's shown on the profile's Details page. The latter determines where FS sticks the map pin, and it is also what's shown in the various summary views, such as the pedigree charts.

    To fix this, you can click the edit (pencil) button after where it says "not married", scroll down to the very bottom of the resulting popup, and click the Delete Relationship (trashcan) icon.

    In the same way that New York gets suggestions for studying New Spain migration. Both start with New, and Spain comes before York alphabetically.

    Well, in defense of the system in this case, "not married" is not a place and should not be entered as one.

    Agreed on that.

    Thank you for the comments. I understand now why the problem was created and can fix it.
