Brockway-1175 and Brockway-60 appear to represent the same person because: These appear to be the same William Brockway who married Bridget Waller and who were the parents of Wolstan Brockway. Are you sure William and Bridget were both born in London? Gale Ion Harris claims that they were married in St. Giles Cripplegate, but states that Bridget was actually from Norwich, Norfolk (see her article "William1 and Mary Briggs of Boston and the Connecticut Valley," NEHGR 151, Jan. 1997, page 92.)

Brockway-1175 and Brockway-60 are not ready to be merged because: Too many items need reconciling before any merge: birth date and location, death date and location

The name on this profile originally gave his name as William William Brockway but the biography gave his name as Samuel William Brockway so I did an edit to show his name per the biography. I am not sure I have it correctly done. Sorry if I messed this up.

Tomeka, Samuel William Brockway was born in 1603 while William Brockway was born 1607. If they both married Bridget Waller the marriage dates are too close together. I have not researched my Brockway Ancestry this far back so I can't help with a merge.

Who was Bridgett's husband Samuel William Brockway (1603) or William Brockway (1607)? I don't see how these two profiles can be merged as the husbands seem to be two different persons. I have not done any research this far back on my Brockway Ancestry. Sorry I can not help with the merge.

Brockway-60 and Brockway-325 appear to represent the same person because: same wife and death day
