FamilySearch shows Mercy Sprout (Sproat) Samson as the mother of the Thomas Oldham above. And Mercy leads to a Mayflower passenger. So, I assume from the information for Thomas Oldham above that his mother was not Mercy Sprout (Sproat). Correct?

Oldham-1284 and Oldham-32 do not represent the same person because: This is father and son.

What evidence is there that this Thomas Oldham was born in Clwyd Calverton, Flintshire, Wales? Or that his parents were Elizabeth Sykes and Thomas Oldham? I often see this information in family trees, but have never found any evidence of his birth location or parents.

There are 3 brothers named Thomas listed. Sometimes when you import that can happen. Check the birth dates and see if any are duplicates. You can delete the duplicates if you find any.

Mary Oldham-70, -57, and -20 are certainly the same person, but having been born in 1830 they can’t be a child of Thomas Oldham born 1660. Either their birth date is wrong or the parents are wrong. Thomas Oldam-49 has the same problem born in 1841.

Are Oldndham-63 and Oldham-56 the same person? Born same date to same parents, but in different continents.
