Of Mercia-56 and Mercia-28 appear to represent the same person because: death is identical, birth is an estimate

detached from Aethelred (Mercia) of Mercia and Eadburga (Mercia) of Mercia as parents - she is more probably a granddaughter - daughter of their son Aethelwulf (d:901) who is thought to have married Aethelfrith of Mercia

Wiltshire-2 and Mercia-182 do not represent the same person because: I'm fairly sure they are different women, who have been attached to incorrect parents. Will propose merges that better reflect their names.

Wiltshire-2 and Mercia-182 appear to represent the same person because: same parents, were there two daughters or just one and these are the same?
