Perhaps I should have explained why the Marriage details follow the list of Children. It is actually a full list of all the Family Events/Attributes, but often only the Marriage Event is recorded. However, it could include Engagement, Divorce, Annulment, Marriage Settlement, and many others. So which should come before the list of Children and which afterwards?

I would basically like to have a simple chronological report for each individual containing everything as it appears on the facts tab. Alternatively is there another way of producing what I want? Apologies if I am missing something obvious, but thanks in advance for any help.

The nearest to a chronological report as per the Facts tab is a Record Detail Report - Individual. Alternatively, an Individual Narrative Report is more or less chronological. You could possibly get what you want based on the Standard Query - All Facts with a Row Filter to select the Individual and extra Columns for more details. Finally, it might be possible to write a Plugin to create a plain text report of chronological Facts. There is already the Timeline Chart Plugin that does something similar.

I have experimented with your other suggestion (in reply to Jackie) about post-editing an RTF version of the report and it was pretty straightforward to cut and paste the marriage events (with most individuals in my database I only have the marriage itself) into the individual events section which, in effect, gives me what I was seeking. So many thanks for that guidance.
