Anderson-40823 and Anderson-18035 appear to represent the same person because: Anderson-18035 and Anderson-40823 are the same people based on the name of the spouse, and the daughter Helen. Anderson-18035 is unsourced, and the birth date is clearly just a guess. Anderson-40823 is properly sourced and should merge into Anderson-18035, replacing most of the data in that profile.
