Should that merge be undone?
You mean because of the dates?
I've got to unmerge to see the other one it seems - let's see what it was:

Sharon Doubell - i think you can remerge now and match the original profile entry. Conflict triangle at Frederick James Preston
Private User hasn't been on Geni since 2017, and provides no primary sources for the 1889 Salesbury, Lancashire birth.
I can't ethically resolve the Frederick triangle, without knowing if these are the same people, so I've removed the Salesbury Alfred - but I think this is a definite avenue to pursue for primary records in Lancashire.
Bessie Preston also has no sources and wasn't originally added by Edward Alfred Leo Preston, whose profile the Salesbury Alfred was -
She also doesn't appear here - our source for the rest of her Jamaica family:
Generation No. 2
3. Elizabeth [2 Jamaica Law 6 Burial Register I, 1871-1874, I, p. 13 #616.] McDonald (James [1 Jamaica Parish Register Marriage III & IV, 1838-1855, III, p. 68 #26.] ) was born Bet. 1819 - 1820. She married Alfred William Preston August 16, 1843 in Hanover [7Jamaica Parish Register Marriage III & IV, 1838-1855, III, p. 107 #59.]

Instead, she's 10 years and a different place away from her brother's birth. I've asked for primary sources to link her back to them.
