Dixon-1149 and Dixon-3717 appear to represent the same person because: These still look like duplicates & should be merged but the parents also still need to be resolved (they have different parents). I wasn't successful in finding a resolution to that problem.

Brenda - I'm confident that William Dixon & Hannah (Hollingsworth) had a son named William (based on information in Hannah's profile). I don't see anything that shows in that family's profile that shows he married Rebecca Woodward. I think we should leave these profiles for Rebecca's husband William in an unmerged match till we get sources (for William Dixon-1149) & collaboration for your FamilySearch source (FamilySearch links crash my computer, so I haven't checked whether the link it to a submitted tree or documented source). Thanks!

Dixon-3717 and Dixon-1149 are not ready to be merged because: oops! Just realized the parents don't match. That will need to be resolved first. I adopted Dixon-1149, but I've found Glenn Dixon's gedcom to be fairly reliable (aside from its adding "January 1" if no month/day in date field).
