Gordon-2755 and Gordon-2529 appear to represent the same person because: These clearly represent the same person; however, there seems to be a question about who his mother was. The profiles for his father match, and I've proposed a merge for them.

Gordon-2755 and Gordon-2529 do not represent the same person because: I'm rejecting this merge for now. One reason is that 2755 appears to be the product of a previous merge and several of the children are duplicates. The main reason, however, is that the parents are different between the two profiles. Need far more information to convince me the two Williams are the same, despite the matching birth and death dates.
