Guinane-31 and Guinane-8 appear to represent the same person because: newspaper reports of William's death in 1871 state that he lived in Murgheboluc, as do reports of Catherine Hickey's death. Therefore, these two profiles appear to represent the same William who remarried a year after Catherine's death.
