Adams-16045 and Adams-10993 are not ready to be merged because: To little info, To common of a name not to have more B&D info and locations

Bullen-506 Halsey Bullen
Adams-16045 and Adams-10993 appear to represent the same person because: Same birth date, same death date, same locations. Must be the same person. Despite different prefix and suffix. So merge them.
