How would anyone know? They are unsourced. Notes in Seth Ward do not match profile. Same manager (who inherited) for both Annis & Anne, locations match. I wouldn’t merge. I would also disregard as anything but an old FamilySearch upload until there are real sources.

Locations of Seth do match wives but don’t especially match parents, and the alternative data listed in about suggests a bad merge sometime in the past. But as I said, no real point to pursuing anything but supporting information.

There was a yellow triangle on his mother's profile: Katheryn Warde
so I merged her https://www.geni.com/merge/view?revision_id=83250361520 and then saw a merge for Seth in May 2021 left him with two sons named John and a few other issues.
I merged the sons John and the only thing I could not decide was whether these two women are correct or not.
No sources on the profile.
Just wanting to make sure I am not doing any harm but rather cleaning up especially since these are MP'd profiles.
I disconnected parents for Katheryn Warde and made her maiden name unknown so if anyone knows, that would be good to add/add back.
I think I have stepped away from Ward now

I added biography based on https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Ward-31630

Seth Ward, of Great Abington was not a known son of Roger Ward & Katheryn Warde

His family listed in his 1598 will (3 sons, 2 daughters) were:

  • wife Anne
  • Son John Ward
  • Son Enos Wars
  • Son Thomas Ward
  • daughter Marie Ward
  • daughter Anne Jacob
  • Grandchildren John Ward and Seth Ward, sons of testator's son John Ward
  • Brother Robert Ward
  • Sister Wilsonne
  • Grandchildren Anne Ward (daughter of John Ward), Martha Ward, Alice Ward and Marie Ward

Erica Howton does that mean this merge should be undone, rather than just disconnecting Seth?

I undid the merge on Katheryn Warde because they look different.

Roger Ward
Husband of Katherine Ward (Ward) and Katheryn Warde (Cadwallan)
Katherine Ward (Ward)
Katheryn Warde
None of these profiles has even one source but maybe one of the over two dozen managers can add something to them since we have brought attention to them.

The way to add resource information to this Ward family in Norfolk is to track the research done from the immigrant ancestors to Colonial America. That would be Lucy Page who has decent notes in her profile.

Please note this is a different and unrelated family to the Ward family in Cambridgeshire, with immigrant descendants who went to Virginia,
