Caraway-50 and Caraway-23 appear to represent the same person because: These two appear identical. They were found because they are married to the same woman. The death date seems unsourced and whichever one is not chosen for the merged profile should be added to the bio until a source is found. Thanks!

Set unmerged match with Caraway-164. The name, birth and death dates and locations match. However the spouse and children do not match. Are they the same person?
