I have been taking a closer look at John Newton Jr compared to John Newton Sr. They appear to be two different people, both born and died similar dates but different parents, with possible errors re marriages.
Newton-12824 and Newton-4041 appear to represent the same person because: Clear duplicate. Family will need further work as there is already a profile for first wife Elizabeth Knowles. There is also an unmerged match pending with John Newton.
