Will this Ancestry link help to identify this profile?

I do not have access to Ancestry and was wondering if this link might help to find the LNAB of this profile.

WikiTree profile: Susannah Bates
in The Tree House by Esmé van der Westhuizen G2G6 Pilot (149k points)
I did a couple of edits to clean up her profile and added a source.

Used this template

{{Ancestry Tree|283722|113995376}}

to get to profile and then Search on Ancestry can result in many source suggestions: Marriage and birth records for children are among the first few.

I've tried loading it three times and get "Error:Page Not Found." I'll continue to see if I can find a way in.

Okay, could not get into that specific tree and did not find any Susannah Bates in trees with those exact dates of birth and dates (see below), but I did find a couple of shareable links which may be of interest to you.

Burial

Marriage

Without more information, it would be hard to figure out which Susannah Bates I did see in trees would be her, since none had dates which match up exactly. There are just too many possibilities in trees to narrow it down. There were at least three Susannah Bates with three different spouses in multiple trees.

Using the tree ID (tid) 283722 & person ID (pid) 113995376 from the above link, you can use the WikiTree Ancestry Tree external link template to re-create the broken link in a profile or free-space page:

{{Ancestry Tree|283722|113995376}}

which leads to this Ancestry family tree profile (subscription required):

https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/283722/person/113995376/facts

No surname is documented there for Susannah. Susannah was born in 1597. She married Robert Bates (1620-1675) in 1647 in Stamford,Fairfield, Connecticut, United States. She died in 1674. The only sources cited are Ancestry trees.
Thanks for the research Nelda.

There are hundreds of the profiles that are orphaned and I am trying to determine at what point do we decide to recycle this type of profile or keep them open in case someone picks it up.
Thanks, Rick! I did not know that was possible.

Following the link provided by Rick is very useful.

It takes you to a profile and by using the "Search on Ancestry" tab, I did find sources. First one was FindAGrave Index record for her memorial.
