If you 'show spouses' multiple marriages are shown.

If you want to do this with out showing spouse boxes you will need to edit the text scheme to pick them up.

Jane, many thanks for the info, just added and all shows as wanted.

I know I should be using the manual, but wonder if this is easier.
does one enter born, died, married as follows, which is correct please.

12 Nov 1918...
Nov 12 1918...
12 11 1918...

Thanks........

I think you will find any invalid entries ask if its a date phrase.

I use 12 nov 1918, I would avoid using just numbers due to the american problem where
3 7 60 could be March 7th 1960 or 3rd July 1960.

Thank you Jane.
Yes I felt this was the correct way to go i e 12 Nov 1918.
I had tried 12th Nov 1918, but that did not work, had taken me a little while to get my head round it.

Kind regards.......
