I have created Crichton-1450, not knowing he already existed. But I have the sources that show he actually existed. I gave him a birth date of 1500, but he had to be born before since he first married in 1513.  Thank you

The birth years are different by 30 years....both have daughters named Agnes, but their birth years are 57 years apart.   Can you provide the sources that would indicate that these are the same person?

I've been investigating these profiles and updating Crichton-1450 and I'm certain they are the same. Crichton-230 is unsourced and I suspect the birth date was a very rough guess.  From the changes tab, of Crichton-230 and his daughter it looks like they are intended to be the same as Crichton-1450 and his daughter.

I've also changed the birth date of John Crichton profile to about 1490 based on some of the sources, and I would estimate the daughter Agnes was born about 1520 but it's getting late here and I won't be able to do anymore now, hopefully tomorrow.
Thanks John for doing the research needed.

I just wanted to add that  Agnes-229 shows that she was 67 when she married. Please read the sources that were added in Agnes-1455. I think that the birth dates in Agnes-229 was way too early
