Today, using RM11, I am randomly seeing a situation where the husband on a Family View is not showing the marriage information even though it appears in the right-side column under Life Summary.

I have verified the husband and wife show the marriage on their Person Views with the other spouse listed in the fact. I’ve attached 2 screenshots showing one example.

I’ve seen this on 3 families today. Also ran tools, Remove Phantom Records, Rebuild Indexes and Compact Database as well as closed the database and the app, and reopened.

Looks like you have more than one marriage fact for the couple. The last screen shot shows the 2nd marriage fact is coming after the death date. It is blank and most likely marked primary for it to display like that in the earlier two images.

Yes, this has happened to me before - sometimes on a merge.

Turns out, I caused it, sorta. I already had a marriage fact for this couple, then did a record sync with FamilySearch, which added a marriage. The first fact did not have date or location, so I honestly didn’t see it before synching. The fix was to delete the previous marriage fact, and that set things right.
