I have found errors both for indexes on family search and also had Scotlands people correct their indexes, for about a dozen Nisbet records on their indexs from errors I found when working on them. I could also have made errors in my abstracts, so I usually compare them to get it as correct as possible. Unfortunately or fortunately for Nisbet genealogy, because of fire damage I had to find another place to live for a year and rented a lot of that time in Edinburgh. Spent hours at the archives in Edinburgh great to get your mind on something else. Glad to see you are working on this family so it gets completed documented connected and corrected.

It is true There is a record that says
A James Nisbet James Nisbet (1790-) is son of James Nisbet butcher and Joan Lemon Baptism (abstract of Old Parish Records Scotland) Parish of Haddington baptized 29 Aug 1790 born 26 Aug 1790 James Nisbet son of James Nisbet butcher and Joan Lemon
It is also true There is records that says
A James Nisbet James Nisbet (abt.1790-) married Alison Amos Banns/Marriages Old Parish Records Scotland Haddington 30 Mar 1813 paid the dues James Nisbet and Alison Amos Irregularly married 2 Mar 1813 at Edinburgh Banns/Marriages Old Parish Records Scotland St Cuthbert's 30 Mar 1813 James Nisbet flesher St Johnshill and Alison Amos
The marriage record does not give his parents names or even age or birthplace or any other indication that this is the same James.
There is no record that I have seen that says that these are the same James. It is a possibility but needs documentation. Until then it is speculation. If documentation is found they will then be merged as duplicates. Until then they are definitely not to be considered duplicates.
I suspect you have done Autosomal DNA that is usually only reliable for 5-7 generations and gives many false matches. To be able to use that as proof you need triangulation.
