Phyllis Freemantle (Pitt) - Alternative Parents after merge

The MH matches have profiles with both sets of parents. This, the two Freemantle husbands;and the duplicated children suggests to me that we need more source data before we have the line correct.
Does anyone have my Sources to help us get it right?

Hi,
I registered on Ancestry.com BUT it hasn't YET uploaded the old SA records from Ancestry24.com - perhaps we could ask June Barnes to look up Phyllis (Pitt) Freemantle for us?
I can however tell you that I have found marriage records for Robert Pitt+ Lucy Rapley on 06.06.1808, and for John Pitt & Sarah Roberts 22.09.1823, so I am more inclined to think Phyllis is the daughter of John and Sarah??

Ahh, that helps Jennifer. As I suspected, there were two Phyllis Pitts who both married Freemantle men. What are the chances? I'm a bit skeptical that there isn't still a better explanation for this coincidence - but this certainly fixes the tree, for now.
Let me try and disentangle, and then Master them so they stay separate in the future.
You're a star. Thank you.

Hi Helen - cross posted with you. Give me 30 minutes to untangle, then I'd appreciate you both checking that you're happy with the result.

Hi guys - Please don't work on the two of them at the same time as me - the result is that we're losing one of them altogether. Hang ten until I'm finished.

Innocent I am... only posting in discussion - not touching their profiles

lol, Jennifer and I were fixing it together :-).
Have you got the Source (eg an internet link) for the marriage reference, that I can add?

Okay - thanks to both of your prompt help - we now have the two of them separated and Mastered. (I've locked them temporarily, so we don't accidentally re-merge them while we're checking on them. But I'll unlock the minute we think the two lines are stable.)
Please check to see you're both happy - & take a look at their kids especially, as I haven't double checked them yet.)

Okay, so turns out this was the tip of the iceberg and the rest of the kids are like an Escher painting from which there is no exit.
I'm going to see if we can get people from the 1820 Project (http://www.geni.com/projects/1820-British-Settlers-in-South-Africa/162) to come and help solve the Puzzle of the Pitts.
