Unknown-329716 and Richards-97 are not ready to be merged because: Possible match

Unknown-329716 and Richards-97 do not represent the same person because: These are reported as two different wives on the profile of William Bradford Jr (1624-1704).

I am rejecting the match. Would hope folks might collaborate on his Mayflower Project profile (about why they should be considered the same person) before renewing the proposed match. --Gene

also the baptism place should be Pitminster, according to Anderson.

The baptism date is off. According to Anderson in Great Migration Begins:

https://www.americanancestors.org/databases/great-migration-begins-immigrants-to-ne-1620-1633-vols-i-iii/image?pageName=1577&volumeId=12107

date of baptism should be April 7, 1629.

as it is, it is causing an error report with Ann, b. Nov. 1, 1626.

Any objections to changing the date of baptism?
