UNKNOWN-109660 and Saule-9 appear to represent the same person because: According to Robert Charles Anderson of the Great Migration, Nicholas Simpkins married Isabel Saule in London. These profiles should be merged.
Saule-9 and UNKNOWN-109660 are not ready to be merged because: It looks promising, but it may be too early to say. Perhaps a little more data can be found first.

Saule-9 and UNKNOWN-109660 appear to represent the same person because: Elizabeth Isabel Saule is Nicholas Simpkins wife. Marriage record on Saule-9's profile gives that information. Please merge.
