Further research is required before this profile can be merged as there is a problem with the mother. Which one is she? There are no sources and for having specific dates in the 17th century, there should be some references alluding to these dates. All I see is Ancestry source #s repeated "Source: #S36 Page: Database online. Data: Text: Record for Giles Knight" - I assume this is simply a reference to Ancestry.com . It's not a reference to a parish record, a book, a history...just a number. I will clean it up and mark it unsourced so it gets some attention. The mother needs to be confirmed above all else. They're likely the same individual but a merge cannot be done until that conflict is resolved.

Knight-15684 and Knight-1637 appear to represent the same person because: they share the same vital statistics, the same father and the same spouse.
