Nicholls-3066 and Nicholls-1230 appear to represent the same person because: clearly the same person, the only thing that justifies the Nicholls-3066 profile is the marriage registration that similarly sources the other profile.
posted by E. Logan
Nicholls-3066 and Nicholls-1230 do not represent the same person because: How is it that Nicholls 3066 is nee Meredith plus the creator of Nicholls 3066 does not seem to have much information about Nicholls 3066.Ithink that 1230

Nicholls is correct and should remain as such. Leonard Coles.

posted by Leonard Coles
I agree with you and as the creator of Nicholls 3066 I have clearly entered the wrong current last name which I have amended and they are married to the same person ie Mary Jane Meredith.
posted by Steve Davies
I have now marked them as unmerged matched profiles

Nicholls-3066 and Nicholls-1230 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person. This has been found because William Nicholls wife profile has just under gone a merge and showed up the two profiles.
