If she has descendants on the entry you are trying to delete,you have to delete the descendants first,once she is only attached to hubby you can delete her. Glen

dont know if this will help but I managed it yesterday instead of trying to delete by the details box that comes up ,click on the square above that info containing her name then try to delete from there instead, it might work it might not I think GR is a real nuisance sometimes

Make sure that the names are different, e.g. by changing the one you don't want to 'Mistake Bloggs' or similar. Unless the names differ the programme can't tell which one to delete.
