Dennys-18 and Dennis-6971 appear to represent the same person because: Self-evident duplicates. Dennys and Dennis are variant spellings of the same last name.

I am detaching Philippa as wife and as mother of Edmund. There has been confusion with a Godolphin/Dennis family who lived in the 16th century.

I will be amending dates and proposing a merge with an existing profile for the person she should be.

Dennis-2946 and Dennys-3 appear to represent the same person because: same birth and death dates and places, same name of husband (might need a merge). Currently set as sisters, with same mother. The father's first name needs verification.

I think one issue with this merge is the need to decide which LNAB the profile should have: Dennis or Dennys. At least, WikiTree seems to think so.

The merge should go ahead. For the spelling of Dennis it is probably just a question of settling on one which is quite commonly found, and giving the others as variants. There will not be a single "right" spelling. This probably needs to be looked at in the context of the family as a whole in this period. The History of Parliament Online uses Denys for Philippa’s father Robert - the Dennis pedigree in the Devon Visitations standardises on Dennis for the family, and there may well be other variants in other contemporary and secondary sources.

I note in the WikiTree surname pages, there are 33 Dennys and 7900+ Dennis, and in proportion during the relevant period.

And there are some 243 with Denys (one 'n'j as in the History of Parliament Online or de Nys, a lot of them non-English. I would be inclined to go along with the Devon Visitation and standardise on the modern spelling Dennis, but give Denys as a variant, and possibly Dennys as well.

Dennis-507 and Dennys-3 appear to represent the same person because: same parents date and place of death and date of birth is off by one year

Shaw-5390 Shannon Shaw
Dennys-3 and Dennis-507 are not ready to be merged because: PLEASE CONFIRM THE CORRECT SPELLING OF PHILLIPPA LAST NAME.

Smith-123128 Shirlea Smith
The Visitations uses Dennis rather than Dennys

This can't be right -- Philippa Dennys was the wife of a William Drake who lived 200 years later!
