Davis-21428 and Davis-1089 are not ready to be merged because: The birth date needs to be checked

Davis-21428 and Davis-1089 appear to represent the same person because: appears to be intended as same person.
posted by Beryl Meehan
If the observation that the vitals here belong to Davis-1089 is correct, the proposed merge should not be completed ...

Instead, David Thomas should be detached as her husband and she should be merged with Davis-1089.

The birth and death information on this profile belong to a different Joanna Davis, who married two different men, rather than David Thomas

Do you have any quality sources for her last name at birth of Davis?
posted by S (Hill) Willson
Davis-41356 and Davis-5125 are not ready to be merged because: More work needed to determine if this merge would be correct ... also many problems with the connected profiles.
Corley-264 and Davis-1089 appear to represent the same person because: Joanna Davis, d/o Thomas, born say 1625, married George Corliss (sometimes Corley) 1645 in Haverhill. She married second James Ordway 1687, in Newbury.
