Hullo Users, I have an Uncle in my family erroneously entered as a female. I have just located his hitherto unknown wife and when I went to enter her details PAF wouldn't let me change the sex for either. So now George is female and Margaret is a male. Originally I seem to remember the handwriting on Georges Death Cert was a bit hard to decypher and I mistakenly entered him as female, anyway that's my story. How do I make the correction please ?

Hello: I have a few cases where an unkown is shown as the spouse, due to an error on my part. I have tried to delete this but obviously I an not doing something right. How do I delete the unknown spouse? Thanks Doug

A most amusing situation! Basically, PAF will not let you change the sex at this stage because you have already defined the respective individuals in their male and female roles (i.e., husband and wife). What you need to do is to delete the marriage ------ and then PAF will let you change their sex. Of course when you do the delete of the marriage you are also un-linking the parents from all of their children ----- so after you change their sex, you will need to re-add the marriage and then re-link their children to the marriage ----- to do this, you should carefully note the RIN numbers of the respective spouses and their children and the details (date, place, notes, sources) for the marriage.. Good luck!
