Robertson-3573 and Robertson-3430 appear to represent the same person because: Same name, same spouse, birth and death dates need correction.

Robertson-3573 and Robertson-3430 do not represent the same person because: different dates and different men

Trigg-355 Angela Trigg
These dates up above don't match the bio, which does match what I've found. King Charles I reigned from 1625 to 1649, so his marriage was in that range, so he couldn't have died in 1599

Robertson-3917 and Robertson-3430 appear to represent the same person because: dates of birth and death and name of spouse match
