Edwards-6936 and Edwards-6741 appear to represent the same person because: same birth, same wife name

Edwards-6936 and Edwards-6741 are not ready to be merged because: The children of each do not align. I think the children of Edwards-6741 are likely incorrect, since many of them were born before the marriage, much farther from the marriage location, and are presented without sources. Before we merge them, I think the children should be sorted out.
