Hi Jenny
Just done some tests and Witnesses seem to be weird. But, if I
search for an Individual with a Witnesses event, shared from a Marriage
record (MRIN), I do not find any of them, even though they do appear in
their details. To find them I need to search for the Event Role equal to
Witnesses and Role equal to Witness.
If I search for a Marriage with a Witnesses event I can get a list
of people in the marriage but I cannot reduce that to only shared
events.
So I created a search for an Individual with an Event Role of
Witnesses / Witness AND an extra Event Date of 6/6/1841. That only got a
few records, all of which have the 1841 census record and have a
Witnesses event.
Silly question, did you use AND or OR in your original query?
Regards
Chris

My guess is that there is a 1841 census record (6 Jun 1841) on the person

always tied back to the original event person rather than the person it is
shared to.
Potentially a programming error, but I suspect more likely a case 'we did
not think about it'. If that is the case it would be a reason to raise it as in
issue.
That sounded like a very sound idea and I thought you might have cracked it,
but I changed the 1841 Census date on both of the wedding couple and ran the
Search again and STILL the wrong person (their witness) appeared in the Search
List.
