Showing Married Cousins on Ancestry Family tree

I wonder if anyone can help me. My Gt. Gt. Grandfather was married in Birmingham to his first cousin. How can I show this on Ancestry family tree without having duplicate persons. I've tried tried merging with duplicate but I still have them shown twice in the same tree. Any help would be appreciated.
 
Not sure but when you added her as his wife did you select her from someone already on the tree or add her as a new person? Will try later from my laptop and see what happens.

I selected her from someone already on the tree. Originally I had my grandfather married to a lady of the same name and nearly the same birth date. Now I've found that this is wrong and he married his Uncle's daughter, already shown on the tree.

When one of the couples are direct ancestors...

If you mean actually 'matching' the couples then when adding a spouse to one of the second couple you would select them from your tree as per Janice's post #2 above.

If you mean seeing those relationships in a view of your tree then on Ancestry they don't really show.

Also it won't show when Ancestry list the relationship between you and descendants of that other couple - eg it'll just be second cousin rather double second cousin.

That made a lot more sense in my head. :confused:
