I have discovered his marriage, but I am having a great problem finding his death information. The Family surname is uncommon so have trai...

Hi Jane

Could you tell me which page in the User Manual I will find the information for the Box and Bar move, to 'Offset' the 3 Children from the 1st Marriage, to the 8 Children from the 2nd Marriage.

Can someone please tell me how to move box of 2nd spouse nearer to Husband.
1st Spouse next to him, but then big gap before 2nd Spouse box.
Is there a way to do this i.e. Click and Drag?
