Note: When determining a person's LNAB, we normally try to find documentation of what the person's actual last name was around the time of their birth. We don't assume that the profile that looks like it has the best sources must have the best last name. In this instance, one profile is unsourced and the other one cites a secondary source that chose "Poole" as a standard name for the family throughout history. The better approach to determining the LNAB would be to look this person up in Weymouth vital records or similar sources.
