I removed Elijah Owen as her spouse, as he died when she was just five years old. Elijah married an older Hannah Higley - they are already connected.

Higley-47 and Higley-220 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same spouse.

It is unlikely that the parents had 2 living children with same name Higley-220 has the correct spouse for their daughter Hannah, so this profile should probably not be connected to these parents.
