Ancestry matches cannot be used for triangulation. See these instructions for the explanation: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Triangulation#AncestryDNA_Triangulation

I’ve changed the ‘confirmed with DNA’ entries to ‘confident’.

Drake-8333 and Drake-1887 appear to represent the same person because: Wikitree policy is to have one profile per individual. These two profiles are obviously the same individual. Merges need to be done to the lower numbered individual. Same birth date, same place of death, same spouse. One child on one of the profile is same of one of the children linked to the other profile. That will need to be merged separately.
