Pullein-6 and Pulliam-892 appear to represent the same person because: Both are residents of Ripley (Yorkshire) and spouses of Joan Sheffield.

There is an existing profile for second wife Jane Sheffield at https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Sheffield-1810 She is attached to a spouse William Pulliam but I have not proposed a merge as his dates are different and he has an unsourced son Edward, so I'm not sure whether it's a different person and Jane has been attached to him in error.
