We are so happy to have you here in the WikiTree family, your contributions will go a long way to joining the !world together.
I would suggest starting with the New Member How-To pages, they will save you a lot of time and frustration. Don't be afraid to ask questions in our G2G forum and get involved as much or as little as works for you. Be sure to check out the tabs at the very top right hand side of your profile, there is lots to discover!
I am here to answer any question you have, no matter how trivial you may think it is. There is no such thing as a silly question. Please add as much information as you can, it all helps to turn a “name” back into a person. I hope you enjoy the site as much as I do!

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Lancaster-Lucas-1 should be married to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Williamson-13505
as is shown on the tree
but she is also shown as being married to https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Williamson-13504
although his spouse on his profile is https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Abbot-1040
but not showing on the tree ..
I have tried merging , deleting but getting nowhere , can you please give me a pointer ?
Thanks
You have Ralph John Cyprian Williamson-13503 as having Ralph Williamson-13504 as both his father and his brother. His father should probably be Williamson-13505, shouldn’t he, as Williamson-13505 is married to Katharine? I think if you fix that, the tree will correct, fully or partly.
Merge is to take two profiles which are duplicates and merge them into one. It is not a way to connect people. It is not possible to delete profiles once created.
Might I suggest deleting the replies to other Greeters which are the same question as this, so they don’t spend time trying to investigate this also?
Let me know if I can assist further.
Wendy
I have deleted the same question to other Greeters as suggested
