Ball-1065 and Bell-1122 appear to represent the same person because: Ball-1065 was originally created as a mother r to Edmund Hobart, a theory which has not been proven. Original dates were estimates/from unreliable source (World Family Tree). These are intended to be the same person.
Bell-20767 and Bell-1122 appear to represent the same person because: They are the same person and need to be merged into one. I have been working on the Hubbard/Hobart family line for a while now, and I would like to see the work that has been put into this line by all put together instead of being two of the same person on wiki tree.
