Sonja,I know that they are the same person.I have two half 2nd cousins and a half 3rd cousin DNA matches to descendants of George. He was not married to Mary Anna but they had a relationship whilst George was in Belfast resulting in the birth of my Grandmother.

Thanks for the clarification Linda, I have proposed a new merge.

Hutton-2752 Loralee Hutton
I've gone ahead and recommended a merge again with the profile connected to Susan Harbron. I also have a DNA connection through the Harbron family. She married George and had 3 children prior to his relationship with Mary Craig.

Oh - it's already been proposed today. Just waiting for approval.
