Or (actual example) a woman who had a child by a completely
unidentified man, but who never married. (Sweden: she is in the records
as "piga" or miss to the end of her life.) There is no partner to be
entered (at least not found so far).
This whole issue has been discussed in the past. What it comes down to
is that the Legacy people are using "married" in the sense of "had
sexual relations resulting in a child", whereas a lot of us use
"married" in the sense of "married according to the law or custom of the
time". They aren't the same thing. Anyway, it's a lot different to say
that an individual *never* married, even if he/she had a child, than to
say in the "marriage info" that the two individuals were unmarried. The
first says something about the *individual*, the second says something
about the *two* people of interest.

OK. What about a single person, (male or female) never married, or never had
a partner, who adopts a child?
