What's the source for middle name Rosamund, please?

Squire-1556 and Squire-1 appear to represent the same person because: same person

The two Joseph's may have been a result of the old merge. Is it possible to detach the parents and then reattach them? Not sure if this would correct the problem, but it may...

Strange to see Edith has two children, with different profiles, but both called Adams-39!

Squire-1 and Squire-787 appear to represent the same person because: It appears that discrepancies have been resolved. Shall we try the merge again? I've sourced the death date on Squire-1 which I believe is the only discrepancy with Squire-787.

Squire-787 and Squire-1 are not ready to be merged because: birth date different, fathers name not shown on squire-787, mothers name not shown on squire-1

Sharon, are there some reliable sources for this profile? The Edith Squire who married Henry Adams had the date of birth & location you show for this profile, but not the death date, nor the middle name. The town of Norfolk, Mass., wasn't settled until almost 1700, so the death location can't be correct. Can you clarify her a bit? Thanks!

Lee-5956 Robin Lee
Squire-787 and Squire-1 appear to represent the same person because: Let's try again, the name on Squire-787 that includes the middle name of Rosamund is the exact same name on the source that there is a picture of on Squire-1. The births are identical. The death date on Squire-787 is totally unsourced and therefore should not come into play in a decision on whether these profiles were intended to be the same person.
