Elswick-331 and Elswick-181 appear to represent the same person because: clear duplicates (as are spouses); please merge.
Elswick-189 and Elswick-181 appear to represent the same person because: same name, exact same spouse on both profiles, exact same father on both profiles, similar birth date (maybe typo on one year?), same birth location, similar death year, same death location

Elswick-189 and Elswick-181 do not represent the same person because: I cannot complete a merge between these two as there is not enough matching information. Because there are so many individuals from this area with the same names, they are being merged as one person, when they are not the same person.
Elswick-189 and Elswick-181 appear to represent the same person because: same spouse, similar dates
Elswick-208 and Elswick-181 appear to represent the same person because: same relations
