Brian I probably didn't make myself clear, but I'm not trying to share a "Marriage Certificate" event. I'm sharing the marriage vital event using the share button next to the marriage location in the edit marriage window. The marriage certificate is used as a source for the marriage and for any other information found on it.
The marriage has two sources - the certificate and a FREEBMD marriage index. Unfortunately, both of these carry over to the shared events, even though the FreeBMD source detail has nothing to do with the father. "No worries" thought I, I'll just delete the FreeBMD from the father's event. Apart from getting a weird error message (Marriage 6587 not found) that seemed to go OK, except that it also deleted the source from the original. This also happened with my marriage witnesses. They get the Marriage Certificate source which is correct and the FreeBMD source which is nonsense. That definitely seems to be a bug. Carrying all sources over seems logical (or at least convenient), but not allowing them to be cleaned up and used only where needed is just not correct. I'll be walking away from shared events for a while until that is fixed.
