Second Marriage

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

One of my ancestors was widowed by the early death of her husband less than a year after the birth of their first child. She re married, and went on to have four children to her second husband.
When I try to enter this information into my tree on GR, the lady appears twice ( with a number ,usually 1 or 2 in brackets) once for each husband. The children are shown with the correct father, but if I click on either the second husband, or the lady in question, I get an error message, and any further access to the tree is prevented. The error message then appears on every member of the tree.
I have tried pretending she was divorced, but it didn't help.
I tried re entering the details in every different order I can, with no luck.
Any suggestions please?

Have you put the date of death of the first husband? Not sure that it should make any difference but would be worth checking.
