Wight-673 and Wight-72 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth and death dates and locations, same parent, same siblings, same child (though -673 only has one of the children. Clearly the same person. Please merge them.

Wright-7625 and Wight-72 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date and place. Correct LNAB should be Wight, not Wright. Need to change name to match parents.

Have found only one Lydia Wight on Wikitree, Wight-72, with correct birth date and place. No other data on her profile. Seems a merge between Wright-7625 and Wight-72 is in order.
