okay, you guys, and Jack, need a little DAY help from my friends and Mentors...
this is an ENTRY in the Register I am adding............. can you match it to an Elizabeth Day? the child born 1707...
OR should I just forgot I saw it? I think this new Registrar was senile???
In 2017 Elizabeth was erroneously merged with the profile for a Sarah Cox. There is no evidence that Elizabeth also went by the name Sarah, and middle names were very rare during this time period. I am therefore removing Sarah as one of her names.
Cox-5239 and Cox-2313 appear to represent the same person because: These are clearly the same person - dates of birth and death are similar, and they are married to the same man. Please merge.
