As no action has been taken in 2 years, and to make this easy, I have removed the incorrect parents and the merge can proceed.

Harrison-1178 and Harrison-988 do not represent the same person because: Parents do not match. More research is needed.
Just a reminder that an unmerged match is intended to be a temporary state. The research needs to be done to find the correct parents.

Are you planning on working this issue, or should I work it?

Harrison-9940 and Harrison-988 appear to represent the same person because: This match was obscured by "born before" and 'died before" dates which where decades removed from the actual dates of Sarah Daniel's husband

Attached to incorrect parents...their ages would have precluded them from being the parents of this person. The dates would indicate that this is the son of Thomas that married Mary Beswick
