I was told to contact you about some confusion about the relationships on a couple of pages in the Cheney line.
Humphrey Cheney
Robert Chaney
David Prins, sent this information in response to a message I sent him concerning the problem.
As far as I can see, Robert's parents are Simon and Eleanor.
It's Robert's son Humphrey who married Alice.
As far as the duplicates on there if anything could be done with those that would help also.
Hey Roger -
Not sure how I can help. Would be happy to, though I am not a curator. Are you sure you have the right person?
Private User said that he referred you to me? (I'm honored, of course, but these profiles are outside of my family group).
If you specifically state exactly what needs to be done, I have a Pro membership and would be happy to oblige.

Hi Joe
I am as confused as you are here.
I am not sure how you got involved.
Roger referred to me what he thought was an issue that I didn't think was an issue - and I explained why.
Then I noted that there were some duplicates that could be merged in the area and that we could get a PRO to help by listing them at http://www.geni.com/discussions/99133
Instead this thread emerged ...
But since you are offering PRO services Joe, if you look at http://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000003949675675 you will see that Robert Chaney has two sons Humphrey who are the same and two daughters-in-law Alice who are the same.
[I think there were three Humphreys earlier - one has already merged]
There are some parent conflicts in the area as well.
I think Roger would appreciate a bit of a tidy-up if a PRO would oblige.
Thanks!
Roger do you mind waiting until I get back some answers from the people who created these profiles.

Roger my concern are the Ellinors below this part of the Tree

We dont want to orphan them yet..lol
The first website I found a few days ago that matched the Cheneys as currently on Geni that I sent to Angus was as follows:
This SUPPORTS the Cheneys as currently on Geni.
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/CHENEY.htm
Robert CHENEY
Born: ABT 1421, Cralle Manor, Warbleton, Sussex, England
Died: 22 Jan 1488
Father: Simon CHENEY
Mother: Eleanor NOTTINGHAM
Married: Anne LOVELACE ABT 1449, Queenshithe, London, Middlesex, England
Children:
1. Robert CHENEY
2. Humphrey CHENEY
3. Amy CHENEY
4. Humphrey CHENEY
5. Roger CHENEY
6. Hugh CHENEY
7. John CHENEY
---------------------
Humphrey CHENEY
Born: ABT 1457, Higham, Milstead, Kent, England
Died: 3 Jan 1526
Father: Robert CHENEY
Mother: Anne LOVELACE
Married: Alice WOOTTON ABT 1489, Boughton, Malherbe, Kent, England
Children:
1. John CHENEY
---------------------
John CHENEY
Born: ABT 1490, Higham, Milstead, Kent, England
Father: Humphrey CHENEY
Mother: Alice WOOTTON
Married 1: Elizabeth GYLES ABT 1519, Higham, Milstead, Kent, England
Children:
1. William CHENEY
Married 2: Mary GYLES ABT 1521, Higham, Milstead, Kent, England

5. Simon CHENEY (b. 1528)
6. Robert CHENEY (b. 1530)
7. Margaret CHENEY (b. 1532)
8. Frances CHENEY (b. 1534)
Second there is http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/e/s/William-West-Georg...
This shows John Ellinor married Angel Tripp. John is not shown on that website with any parents, unlike on Geni at the moment where he has Cheney parents.
Third there are records on Ancestry as follows. These show Ellinors that "match" the first website I found in regard to names, dates, relationships, wives - they just have Ellinor surnames rather than Cheney surnames.
The relevant generations are:
1. http://records.ancestry.com/Simon_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=137004348
2. http://records.ancestry.com/Robert_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=117095075
3. http://records.ancestry.com/Humphrey_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=11709...
4. http://records.ancestry.com/John_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=117085589
5. http://records.ancestry.com/John_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=45188599
etc.
Geni has the top generations as Cheney - then they suddenly become Ellinors.
Of course these are all just websites, not primary sources.
Looking at the similarity of the two websites - we can illustrate with Robert Cheney / Ellinor:
--------------------------------
A. CHENEY
http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/CHENEY.htm
Robert CHENEY
Born: ABT 1421, Cralle Manor, Warbleton, Sussex, England
Died: 22 Jan 1488
Father: Simon CHENEY
Mother: Eleanor NOTTINGHAM
Married: Anne LOVELACE ABT 1449, Queenshithe, London, Middlesex, England
-----------------------------------
B. ELLINOR
http://records.ancestry.com/Robert_Ellinor_records.ashx?pid=117095075
Born 1421
Father: Simon Ellinor
Mother: Eleanor Nottingham
Married Ann Lovelace born 1426
------------------------------------------
So it goes through a few generations and you come to realise you are looking at different names for what otherwise essentially must be the same people, but with conflict on surname of Cheney vs. Ellinor.
