How to get 2nd marriage to show in report

I am using FH V7.0.1 and I have an individual who married twice. I have added the events to his individual record and included notes for both events. When I go to publish a family group report only 1 marriage and the relevant note is displayed? Can someone explain what I am doing wrong please. I would be very grateful. Thank you

I will be corrected if wrong, but believe that a 'Family Group report' only includes information about a specified family (i.e. a couple) and not any other family to which the individuals concerned belong.

You may wish to look at one of the 'Individual' reports instead and include both members of the couple.

Yes, the Family Group Sheet only reports on one nuclear family. It is effectively focused on one Family record.

Whereas all other relevant reports (Individual Summary, Narrative, Outline, etc, reports) include all spouses and children.

BTW: Susan, I advise that you update to the latest FH v7.0.5 from https://www.family-historian.co.uk/install7.

Thank you , I realised that eventually. Been away from FH for a while and I easily forget.

Susan, have you updated to the latest FH v7.0.5 as suggested?

Please also update your FHUG Profile on the right to say Family Historian: V7.
