Thank you. I will delete the Clough marriage. I was always suspicious of it - a farmers daughter from Suffolk marrying a Yorkshire dentist, didn't seem plausible?

Super. Would you like first crack at the post-merge edit?

I can try to blunder though it but I'm a rank amateur. More importantly I have some photos (well 20yo photocopies). They came to me via Arthur Golding and most are named. There are a few unknowns and they may be the Colby family - some taken in a studio in Margate. Please send me a contact email if you would like to see (and hopefully) identify them.

Colby-1277 and Colby-528 appear to represent the same person because: Same family. I don't think the Whitehead and Clough marriages are valid - delete them unless evidence surfaces. The Attwood marriage is certainly correct.
