For a long time I have had in my tree one George Rolph, son of George Rolph, born 1847, Ingatestone. I had married him to a Catherine Sitch and all appeared to be well. They have had children and appeared in censuses and have a lot of events attached.
However, I expanded another couple of families and have discovered two more George Rolph's, both born in 1847 in Ingatestone, one son of James and one son of John. There is another marriage, to Ruth Palmer. So, I have sent of for the two marriage certificates and there is a 2-in-3 chance that I have married Catherine to the wrong George. What is the best way to sort out the wrong marriage, if it is wrong? I thought of unlinking Catherine and the kids from the wrong George and linking them to the right George, but that's a lot of linking and still leaves the wrong George with a bunch of events which really belong to a different George. The easiest way I can think of, since names and birth details are identical, is to unlink married George from his parents, unlink the George who is attached to the right parents, link married George to the right parents and link the now unlinked, unmarried George to the first lot of parents. Is there any potential problem with this or maybe there is a better way?
