Morest-2 and Morais-142 appear to represent the same person because: Morais is the standardized spelling, as per Drouin Collection, for LNAB, same birth/death date, parents, spouse, (please note that the Burial record has Morais)

Clear duplicate

I changed the LNAB to Moret since that is how it is spelled on the baptism record. Feel free to adjust the 'current' last name if desired.
