Nathaniel son of Stephen Curtis was father to another Stephen born 1626. This Stephen fathered a son Nathaniel (1651) and a daughter Elizabeth (1653).

I believe the burial belongs to the younger Stephen. (both Stephens served terms as Mayor)

Yes, it's clearly wrong isn't it. Are you happy to deconflate the profile, separating it into the grandfather and grandson? Otherwise I can look at it in a couple of weeks' time.

Regards,

Chris.
