Lydia Hinds - same person?

They don't seem to match, look like mother and daughter.

Yes - but father's surname isn't Hinds

To me that would indicate that the parents were not married and so the child has the mother's surname?

And any moment now, the (online) profile managers are going to jump in and reveal the answer :-)

I'm checking because we're trying to lock in this family so it can't be messed with, as the manager is concerned that's what's happening: so I don't want to lock anything in that might just be a merge error.

Will, you know that I'm trying to lock down your tree for you - so you can feel sure nobody can mess with it. All I'm trying to check is that this is not a generational mismerge (which this same name configuration often is) before I lock it for you, because you definitely don't want me to lock in errors here. The Discussion is because there are a couple of managers involved.

And she died at 20! Poor girl :-(

Who was her husband: William McDonald or Daniel (assumed brother of William Jr) McDonald

So, if I read above carefully, I think her husband is supposed to be Daniel, not John?

Unlinking William McDonald as her husband

Anybody who dies at 20 can't have been the mother of two more children by a second husband.
