Porter-19144 and Porter-2735 appear to represent the same person because: same dates, and family

This Ruth Steel-2358 should be named Ruth Porter Steele, Her maiden name was Porter and she is actually the same person as Porter-2735. She needs to have her birth name changed to Porter from Steel and the two need to be merged. There is more than enough confusion with name duplications from the older generation to the younger generation without the confusion of two supposed wives one named Ruth Porter Steel and one named Ruth Steel with a supposed middle name Porter.
