* age at marriage on chart

[jbrooks]

I have a chart displaying age at marriage as not expected and picture below.

The expressions I have for marriage are as below and have been cloned from a standard text scheme with no changes:-

The cloned expressions are:

=ExistsText(%CUR~FAMS>MARR%,"Marr:") %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:COMPACT% in %CUR~FAMS>MARR.PLAC:TIDY%

His age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:HUSBAND_AGE_AT%

Her age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:WIFE_AGE_AT%

%CUR~FAMS>MARR.NOTE2%

Spouse: %CUR~SPOU>NAME:FULL%

I will post Eliza mar events next as maximum of 3 attachments

The problem is caused by:
His age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:HUSBAND_AGE_AT%
Her age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:WIFE_AGE_AT%
Those calculate the Age At Marriage by using the Birth Date and the Marriage Date.

I presume you want the actual Age values recorded in the Marriage Event:
His age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.HUSB.AGE%
Her age: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.WIFE.AGE%

Family facts such as Marriage and Divorce are unusual because they have two Age fields HUSB.AGE and WIFE.AGE.

However, the concepts apply generally to Individual facts as well:
One calculates Age At using Date fields, e.g. %INDI.DEAT.DATE:AGE_AT%
The other displays explicit fact Age field, e.g. %INDI.DEAT.AGE%

Thanks Mike,

I have gone for

%CUR~FAMS>MARR.HUSB%
%CUR~FAMS>MARR.WIFE%

Otherwise I get two "his age" and two "her age".

Would be nice to swap husband and wife names for actual names although I can go with the current solution.e.g. Charles age 24.

Perfect.

Charles is the spouse.

Age of %CUR~FAMS>HUSB>NAME:FIRST%: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.HUSB.AGE%
Should display Age of Charles: 24 yrs

Age of %CUR~FAMS>WIFE>NAME:FIRST%: %CUR~FAMS>MARR.WIFE.AGE%
Should display Age of Hannah: 20 yrs

BTW: I forgot to add the AGE tag to the examples earlier, which is why you got His age: Husband's Age:, but now corrected.

BUT what if there is no actual Age recorded?
It should revert to the Age At calculations so use:

Age of %CUR~FAMS>HUSB>NAME:FIRST%: =CombineText( ,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.HUSB.AGE%, ,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:HUSBAND_AGE_AT%)

Age of %CUR~FAMS>WIFE>NAME:FIRST%: =CombineText( ,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.WIFE.AGE%, ,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE:WIFE_AGE_AT%)

Thanks Mike looking good as per picture below. I guess if I tweak NAME:FIRST%: then more of the names would be displayed. That is for another day.

Kind regards Jonathan.

Yes, you could use any of the NAME qualifiers such as:
NAME:GIVEN_ALL gives all forenames
NAME:FULL gives forenames and surname

There is actually a simplification of the last two expressions I gave:

Age of %CUR~FAMS>HUSB>NAME:FIRST%: =EstimatedAgeAt(%CUR~FAMS>HUSB>%,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE%,AVG,2) yrs

Age of %CUR~FAMS>WIFE>NAME:FIRST%: =EstimatedAgeAt(%CUR~FAMS>WIFE>%,%CUR~FAMS>MARR.DATE%,AVG,2) yrs

The =EstimatedAgeAt(...) function automatically uses the actual Age field, but if that is missing it uses the Age At calculation.
