Musgrave-769 and Musgrave-202 appear to represent the same person because: Musgrave-769 is known to be the father of Eleanor Musgrave Lowther. Musgrave-202 is lacking information.

I strongly support this merger which would make the link from Musgrave to Lowther

I find that we have to doubt that his father was Marshall of Berwick, but I have added the correct person. Will keep checking about the marshalcy.
