Mullins-3442 and Mullins-551 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, similar dates & places. Mullins-3442 is unlinked and empty apart from dates & places.

Rutha was most likely the spouse of son William, not Ambrose Sr. Should she be disconnected from Ambrose?
posted by Kay (Sands) Knight
Mullins-3099 and Mullins-551 appear to represent the same person because: Duplicate person who is reportedly married to his daughter in law.
posted by Peter Rohman
Ambrose is prolly her father in law. It is unlikely that he fathered a child at 66. His son is William Mullins who is the spouse of Rutha.
posted by Peter Rohman
This is probably the father-in-law and not the spouse of Rutha Foster based on the 22-year difference in ages.

is his son Mullins-3441?

There is no way Ambrose was married to Nancy Stanley! His SON was married to her!
