It looks like George's last name at birth did not upload correctly in the import. When you have a spare moment, can you change it from Unknown to the correct name of Blackwood?
This can be done by going to the edit tab, going down to last name at birth and clicking on the tiny edit link. I already added the other last name variations under Other Last Names.
Thanks! Emma :-)
