Biography
Birth
Born:
 Say 1570 (1565 - 1570), possibly in Westmill, Hertfordshire, England.[1] This birth date is an estimate based on her marriage in 1590.The baptisms of the children of Richard Duxford have not been found. Though the only records of this family are at Westmill, there is a good possibility that she was born and baptized elsewhere.There are no baptisms for Westmill prior to 1580 at the Hertfordshire Archives and Local Studies, who hold baptisms, 1580-1730; marriages, 1562-1730; burials, 1562-1726. The catalogue entry mentions that a page fragment indicates baptisms originally began before 1568 and that entries up to 1610 appear to have been copied from an earlier register.[2]Marriages and Children

Same birth and death place, same mother (albeit different profiles), same death date, consistent birth dates, same spouse (albeit different profiles).
Both profiles are connected to a son named George who isn't documented as a son of Thomas and Katherine. I am also disconnecting at least one of the George profiles.
