Merge was requested by me but rejected by Graham Crispin (Crispin-131). Hamilton-7345 contains no verifiable details where Hamilton-5712 does. these records SHOULD be merged.
Hamilton-7345 and Hamilton-5712 appear to represent the same person because: Potential duplicate - same spouse
posted by Hans Hofmann
Hamilton-7345 and Hamilton-5712 do not represent the same person because: Birthdates and other details do not match. The name of the spouse of either may be wrongly recorded and thus needs investigation with the complete set of marriage bans and other recorded information.

Is this the George William Hamilton who married Gladys Rose Crispin at Norwood SA in 1927?
