John Harvey Wellington was baptised in Cornwall, England in 1838 and died in Victoria, Australia - as per timeline.

It seems to be more than just a merge problem. There's repeated attempts to add assorted wives, change countries birth dates and kids. Not sure where to start to fix it.

The family is described in the timeline obituary.

Ugh, I see where the issue is. there are two different John Wellingtons. One bornin 1838 and married to Rosina Thomas, the other born in 1845, and died 1907 in Taranaki, married to Bessie Jago. Someone has combined them together as one. It looks like the last person to edit it was Shirley Hosking Thompson. I added the second John Wellington,, and I think it needs to have the kids moved to him and then have the other relationship deleted so they are on separate tree.
So annoying.

I went ahead and moved the children to the correct John Wellington, but I'm unable to disconnect Bessie from John Harvey. I hope that's right. It's just what I saw in My Heritage, so not sure if any actually did belong to John Harvey. At least with both Johns, it should be able to be sorted out now.

I've master profiled both John Wellingtons so they cant be merged together again
