If you do this reports will show the wife, then show he and an
"unknown person" had all the children. Thus it will appear that he
married twice. This may be the best you can do if you don't know that
a known wife was the mother of all the children. But unless you have
some information about the wife that you want to record, I wouldn't
create an entry for the wife at all.
