Hi. I don't have pre-1500 certification. Could a manager review this merge and see if it is valid . Thank You

Pressene-4 and Percy-489 appear to represent the same person because: Same wife same birth dates , death date five years apart

Pressene-4 and Percy-489 are not ready to be merged because: I'm looking for proof that William de Presfen was a Percy... and I still haven't found any. Can someone provide evidence? William de Presfen was recorded in the Scalacronica, but I can't find a source for his wife ... not even her first name. It's William's daughter who is recorded as "Margaret de Presfen" (Presson) ... But as far as links with the Percy family ... I'm not seeing it.
