Research note · 21 Aug 2026
AUDITED 21 Aug 2026 - DUPLICATE CLUSTER MERGED. This man was in the tree twice: as [74] (Ancestry profile 968160230, retired by this push - verify it is gone) and as this record, which held the parents (John Newton Temple x Alice Monroe Gresham), 8 citations, the Temple Lumber Company employments and the census residences. The two agreed EXACTLY on birth (18 Oct 1885, Tappahannock, Va.) and death (27 Feb 1948, Diboll, Angelina, Tex.). The duplicate FAMILY F49 (same wife, Lucy Covy Anderson) was deleted; son Henry Jr [305] already sat in both families and kept his F183 row. DAUGHTER FRANCES was merged the same way ([173] 'Frances Covey Temple' into [304] 'Frances C Temple'): her DAY-EXACT death 15 Jun 2002 (Nacogdoches, Tex.) was MOVED to the survivor, who had none; her day-exact birth 12 Dec 1916 (Pineland, Tex.) remains a live competing claim against the survivor's census-derived 1917 - recorded here, not adjudicated (a merge is not the place to upgrade a claim). Her retired profile: 6886728082. ⛔ THE MARTHA PAIR WAS DELIBERATELY NOT MERGED: [174] 'Martha E Temple' (b. 14 Dec 1913 Sabine, d. 9 Apr 2006 Waco) vs [303] 'Martha S. Temple' (b. 1915, d. 30 Apr 1968 Houston, census-cited) - different middle initials AND day-exact deaths 38 years apart is a CONFLICT, not a filing variant; one of them may be a different woman entirely. [174] was moved into F183 as a sibling so she survives F49's deletion; see her own Audited note of this date. BROWSER-OWED after the push: [174]'s Ancestry profile loses its father when [74]'s profile is deleted - add father = THIS profile (6887198942) by hand; do not push her parent link (duplicate-parent hazard, measured 5 Aug 2026). Decision record: ancestry/duplicate-pairs-guide-2026-08-21.html (pair 1, Owen approved 21 Aug 2026). Script: ancestry/rm-apply-duppairs-merges-20260821.py
