Invalid merge

I am trying to merge Mcgrath-1372 and Mcgrath-4781, but keep getting an invalid flag. I have checked the numbers and there are no spaces or other errors I can see. Perhaps the problem is caused by the capital G?

Mcgrath-4781 needs a capital "G", so McGrath-4781

Yes, case matters, so Mcgrath and McGrath are as different as far as WikiTree is concerned. If McGrath with a capital G is the correct spelling, then the one with the incorrect capitalization should be merged into yours. (Sometimes people merge them in the wrong direction.)

I submitted the merge with the capital G and it seemed to work.
