This is NOT a Pre-1500 profile, he was born in 1516

Removed mother as there is no source for Catherine Bold marrying Giles Leigh

Thanks. The findagrave site does not include any support or authority for the marriage, just states it.

Leigh-239 and Leigh-17 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents. Similar date of death. Husband Allen. Leigh-17 is sourced, including name apparently Margaret rather than Mary Margaret. Thanks for reviewing.

Hi Glen do you have any sources for a Richard Allen marrying a Margaret Leigh at a relevant date? If so, she needs to be detached from these parents. If not, it seems she should be detached from this husband. Appreciate your input. Thanks!

Leigh-656 and Leigh-17 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicate
posted by David Morley
this profile is incorrect. The correct profile is the sister's one Leigh-17.

Hi Vic,

I am running up against a handful of profiles related to this line that need work and sorting out. All need good sources. Any luck on Margaret?

I have rejected a merge request for Margaret Leigh (Leigh-239) and Margaret Leigh (Leigh-17) because I think they are different women, but one got attached to the wrong parents through a merge.

Margaret Leigh, the daughter of Giles Leigh and Catherine? Bold, married John Allen. I can find no evidence that Giles' daughter Margaret married a Richard Allen. I would like to disconnect this profile, Leigh-239, from parents Giles and Catherine.

Please do no merge Leigh-239 and Leigh-17 yet. Although they have the same parents, they married different men and died on different dates, all unsourced. Needs research.
