Profiles Mentioned:

Research note: Merged profiles had conflicting data on:
* First name spelling (Rebecca/Rebeccah)
* Death date (Nov 12 1824/Oct 2 1840)
* Death location (Ramsdean, Hampshire/East Meon, Hampshire)

In resolving the data conflicts I:
* First name spelling: Went with Rebeccah as that is on birth and marriage sources. Put Rebecca as “also known as”
* Death date: This was confusing as there were sources for both. The 1824 source was paywalled (a FreeBMD database on Ancestry). I couldn’t find it directly on FreeBMD and FreeBMD says their records are only from 1837 anyway. I *could*, however, reproduce the 1840 source on FreeBMD. I went with the 1840 date but further investigation of the 1824 date and source would be necessary to fully confirm the matter.
* Death location: Went with East Meon as that was the location associated with the Oct 2 1840 date and source. But if the 1824 source turns out to be the correct one, then the Ramsdean location may be the correct one.
