Probably a leftover from a merge?

The source: "Wales, Glamorgan Parish Registers, 1558-1900," ought not to be attached to this record. The 1594 marriage of "unknown" to "Lewis" (40-yrs after Edward & Margaret's death) is from a town 120 miles north of Cardiff. Highly unlikely it has anything at all to do with the Margaret 1540 who m. Edward 1535 of Cardiff.

Leech-199 and Lewis-1078 appear to represent the same person because: Both men represent wife of Margaret Jones. Edward "Lewis" is sourced and name is known to be Lewis. Edward "Leech" is unsourced, almost certainly a typo or mis-read of "Lewis"

Is the marriage to Margaret Jones Lewis a 1st or 2nd ? Or is this profile, Edward Leech acrually a duplicate of Edward Lewis ? Edward Lewis profile contains primary marriage verification. The profile of Edward Leech which has the same birth year and spouse, same given name has no supporting sources of any kind. Do sources exist for Edward Leech ?

Edward dies in this profile ten years before he sires son William (b. 4 APR 1561) who is progenitor of a great many Lewis families in North America.
