    This an entry in my index:
    Braddock’s Defeat 253,387
    Braddock’s Defeat 335

    I have reindexed many times but have not solved this. I am using Indesign CC 2015. I have also checked hidden characters.

    Have you gone to that reference in the book and looked for the telltale index marker hidden character?

    I did that but wasn’t sure what I should be looking for.
    Thanks

    Go to the original reference in the text, select nearby words, and open the Story editor (Command/Ctrl-Y). The same text will be selected but the index marker will be much easier to spot, it looks like a little guy waving 2 semaphore flags. Delete it, then regenerate the index, see if that fixed it.

    I did that but no luck. One thing I have noticed follows:
    Original entry in my index: Chadd’s Ford 514
    Chadds Ford 432 I added an Apostrophe
    Chad’s Ford 476 I added a d

    Result: Chadd’s Ford 476, 514
    Chadd’s Ford 432

    Thanks
