    1. Alternative Spouse Names in Marriage Index
    2. Graham Chamberlain
    3. I have just resumed transcribing after a break and have started on Marriages. Previous marriage scans I have done were pre-1910 and without spouse names. In the 1934 batch I am transcribing I have had some entries where there are two alternative spouse names, with which I have followed the TWYS rule. When uploading the file I get the warning "Possible alternative name (should be transcribed as two entries): name ....." although my file is accepted. Should I leave it as is or is it necessary to change the entries to enter two lines with a comment. If the latter is correct why is the file accepted? Graham
