Well, it's good that I know not to waste my time following the wrong line! If only FamilySearch didn't have stupid marriage transcriptions giving the groom's marital status as "married", I would have had a strong inkling from when I found it that it was the wrong marriage. I needed the groom to be a widower and it turns out it says bachelor. I wonder whether the FamilySearch is taken from something that doesn't give the marital status (e.g. BT's or an index) and they just put a random value in, or if they just got it (and a lot of other entries) wrong.
