I would not advice a merge without sources
If you don't have pre-1500 certification, I don't think it is advised to adopt those profiles because you can't edit them.

We need sources to prove that her maiden was indeed "De Strandon". I am going to postpone the merge until someone gets some sources up there wink

One of the profiles is now sourced, albeit weakly, based on same  sources as husband. The surname should be Standon, not Strandon per sources. I suggest merge continue. See: https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Help:Merging 

Thank you, Marty.

The source for all of this is this book

https://books.google.com/books?id=o6lLAAAAMAAJ

But the use of "de" was obsolete by that date (some families re-adopted it later as an affectation).  I think that's a good indication that this isn't a recorded name - she's Joan Unknown, and somebody made something up to fill the gap.
