I am disconnecting... Some of these "children" are born in the 1800's.
Please accept my apologies for the inconvenience but do ADD them back WITH sources or weigh in.
Thank you.

He has been merged again AND again and left with too many:

Can we lock parents?

Merge has added a wife Elizabeth Wylie with exact same data as curated wife Margaret Wylie but brings in additional people.
Disconnected extra parents.
I can disconnect the additional wife but in looking at the "siblings", I notice this sister also curated-- please check?: Margaret Wylie Margaret Wylie MP

Birth: March 03, 1689
Kilmarnock, East Ayrshire, Scotland
Immediate Family:
Daughter of Andrew Wylie and Jeane Wylie (Lindsay)

is very different from our Margaret Wylie MP

Aha!
Isabelle was simply renamed Margaret.
I cannot revert but I can manually edit the name.
Please LOCK if is indeed Isabelle.

She needs her correct parents back.

People really should ask for help when a mistake is made.

These things do happen and no one is going to be in trouble for not knowing how to correct

Erica Howton --- I cannot FIX this--- I see

Isabelle Marshall MP

Isabell Marishall
Daughter ofJames Marshel and Jean Marshel (Lowis)
Mother ofJohn Irvine, Presbyterian minister of Coushindall, Ireland

But the hyperlinks for the parents called James Marshel and Jean Marshel (Lowis) go to Andrew Wylie and Jeane Wylie (Lindsay) and while I do not yet SEE a merge of these two couples, that is what looks to have happened?

This appears to be the bad merge:

Margaret Irvine (Wylie) was merged into Isabelle Irvine (Marshall)

Thank you, Erica Howton

That was confusing! Hopefully better now.

lol
I think/process a little backwards so thank you for understanding this confusing mess.
I tried to add step by step where I saw something had gone awry :)

Thank you so much, again.
