Jeremy,
I'm just back to this list after two months away, so I may be
repeating something already stated elsewhere, but, speaking
personally, I would NEVER tick the This couple had no children for a
couple where both are still alive. OK, maybe if they're both in their
90s, then it's probably
Jeremy,
It is correct to say had no children even with the parents living.
The birth would be past tense and so is had. I think the Legacy

It would be nice if the present tense could be
used for people who are still alive. For a couple with no children and
the 'This couple had no children' ticked, it says in the children box
** Had No Children **, and similarly on reports.
It would be nicer if it said Have no children since it
