Shearer-538 and Shearer-60 appear to represent the same person because: Same parents, same life-dates (parents will also need to be merged, since names differ slightly)

Shearer-1235 and Shearer-60 do not represent the same person because: Parents are different

These are clearly duplicates. Same parents. Same husband. Same birth date.

The children need to be checked out along with the death date but they can be checked after the merge. They are currently showing as sisters. This merge really needs to be done as soon as possible because there are two more Mary Shearer's that are being researched before requests to merge them too. Thanks in advance for your cooperation!
