Need for an Unverified Spouse Category

Question

There is a need for a new category, Unverified Spouse.  I have a need to merge two profiles. One has a spouse but it is wrong. The last name of the one with a spouse is correct the first name is in error.  To change the name cause havoc.  I would like to make the merge, have a bold notice as is done with Unverified Parent and have a note in the profile.  Is this possible.

Comments

There is no record for either marriage which is why I want a new category.

I agree that there is a need, but I don't think the need is for a category. Rather, I see a need for a new qualifier to identify a marriage connection as "uncertain" -- similar to the connection for "uncertain" parents.

A category wouldn't work as well because it's the relationship that's unverified, not the person, but a category can hold only people, not relationships.

I have a problem and am a newbie.  I yield to you G6's to come up with the solution.

Answer 1

Have sources of the marriage(s) been added to the profiles of the people in question? Having good sources for the information should help shed light on which spouse is correct, as well as the spouse's name. If there are multiple sources that show different spouses, that would seem to be the best time for a Disputed Spouse section to be added to the bio.

It may also be helpful to attach the profile of the person in question here, to G2G, to see is someone can help you with researching which is correct.
