The way I would do it is find the wife of 1883 , assuming she is not in
your data set and add her to 1883 as a wife. You can also now delete
the 1783 wife/1883 husband marriage tag. Then follow Ian Singer's
instrctions to give the correct parents to each child. You will get a
lot of "do you want to enter a marriage between" Ignore them.
