Halfway down the screen, between the tree bit and the personal details bit, are the facilities to add various relatives or Edit. Double click on the Edit button, and 'choose delete this relative'. The get the correct man on the screen and add your lady's details under Add Partner. Hope this works for you - good luck. Carole

	Don't think you need to delete her. Instead edit her surname to unknown (or her real maiden name if you know it) then add her other husband giving him the proper surname.
