Thorburn-518 and Thorburn-197 appear to represent the same person because: birth and death dates and family
posted by Keith Thorburn
This couple , Thorburn-518 and Susannah-92, with the correct death dates (and one of their sons and wife,Thorburn-517 and Johnston-16407) look to be the same people as Thorburn-197 and Johnston-5585, with the same death dates, (and their son and wife, Thorburn-205 and Johnston-7789) .

I have the four death certificates but not putting them as sources on duplicate entries.
