Advice before merging these pre-1700 Bradford profiles?

Question 1

I'm a little confused about the text change regarding the supposed 2nd wife of William.

Bradford-7315 is a duplicate of Bradford-68 (side-by-side comparison) so they should be merged.

Should I contact one of the pre-1700 projects or know about any style guidelines before proceeding?

Or perhaps someone with more WikiTree experience would like to complete the merge? Let me know if you do. Thanks!

Question 2

Thanks for checking,.

I would be happy to complete the merge if you would like. When the two are merged, please use all the elements of -68's bio and data fields, and ignore -7315. There is a box you can check on the merge screen to just use the text from -68. If you get stuck or would like some help, feel free to reach out to me.

As an FYI: normally, we would use the merged text from both profiles when doing a merge, but in this case, the quality of the bio and sources in -68 is far superior than -7315.
