Nov. 7, 2018 in re: merging this Olivia Guinness-780, with Guinness-18: Olivia died in Dublin Ireland in 1829. Her and Reverend William Lamb Archer's children were born in Ireland. Those children interacted with their half-siblings over their lifetimes. See probate records for Anna Jane Archer Woodhouse and Margaret Agusta Archer Vicent in England's Probate records. See the names of Isabella Sarah Archer Turner's (child of Rev. William Lamb Archer and Elizabeth Thompson, 2nd wife) children in those probates. Any other Olivia Guinness is not the one. Research the biographical sources listed below, or read the newspaper article of her death if you don't have time to research. Better yet delve into the history of Reverend Hosea Guinness, Rector of St Werburgh's Dublin for 30 years.

I have done some more searching for the Olivia Archer who died in the Ongar RD of Essex in Q2 1873 aged 76.
I have found Olivia as the wife of John Archer, an Ag Lab, from every census from 1841 to 1871 living in Kelvedon Hatch, which is in the registration district of Ongar Essex. She was born in Essex.
There is a death of a John Archer in Q1 1877 in the Ongar RD.
Neither are on the return of Kelvedon Hatch for the 1881 census.(I have looked through all the pages)
So I think we can safely say that the death that has been entered for Guinness-18 is for another Olivia Archer who lived all her life in Essex, England.
If this 1873 death is removed from Guinness-18, would all parties be agreeable to the merge of Guinness-18 and Guinness-780?
Jo
The sticking point for merging seems to be her death.
Kathy - The death source for Guinness-780 in 1829 seems very convincing.
Phil, Andrew and Richard - do any of you have the actual death certificate for the Olivia Archer who died in Essex, England in 1873? If so, would you add it as a source to Guinness-18 so the relative merits of the two sources can be compared.
Best wishes. Jo
