Harding-9881 and Harding-2614 appear to represent the same person because: My mistake, i created Harding-9881 in error.
Harding-7258 and Harding-2614 appear to represent the same person because: These two represent the same person. When I created Harding-7258 I used the "Sylvanus" spelling and the match tool did not bring up Harding-2614 as it would have if I'd spelled the name the same way. His dates, locations and spouse are perfect matches.
