I have two Edwards, with the same surname, born in the same village within a couple of months of each.  I have finally found that the records for one Edward belong to the other one, including wife, children, census etc.  The only difference being their parents and some early census records.  I have done merges before but assume this does not cover this, I still want two separate records.  Advice please.

I really must write a How to in the Wiki for this.

On the All tab or records window

Select the Family which needs to be linked to the 'correct Edward' right click on Father/Husbands name there is then an option to replace link, select that one and then from the list select the correct Edward.
