Roger:

It seems the merge has been completed, so it would seem the advice Maureen provided worked for you.

Thanks for your work on WikiTree and your question here on G2G. yes

Thank you Keith for your comment, it was Joseph St Dennis's reponse which entered my email box first on which I reacted to but thanks to Maureen for also responding!

At the bottom of the profile there is a place under Merges and Matches just below Pending Merges is a place to initiate  merge. Once you click on that you will go to a new page where you will enter the second profile number. I already started the process for you. You will want merge to the lower numbered profile if the Last Name at Birth are the same. Other wise use the correct Last Name to be merged into. So you will find a pending merge on the profile at the bottom. Click on compare and if the two profiles are the same click on merge. You will be taken to a page that list the name and dates and you can pick the correct dates, name and places. When you are finished you confirm the merge the next page there will be statement about cleaning up the profile click on that. It will take you back to the newly merged profile and you can removed the duplicate information on the profile.

Merge the higher number into the lower number (It is automatic, anyway).  Then clean up the bio by deleting the duplicate information.

Don't forget to eliminate the duplicate information in the biography.
