I'm not totally convinced that this isn't two different men!

I think I have the right man now

[kiterunner]

Have you got his marriage certificate, Maggie?

Well I've got Obadiah Miller's and Elizabeth Peter's yes.

[kiterunner]

So does he say his father is William on it?

Yes.

But this man has confused me because of the name changing. I might have got the wrong Obadiah!

All the facts fit but I am still not certain.

[ElizabethHerts]

Maggie, are you hoping that these are his parents in 1841?

I don't know why he kept switching his names around from Obadiah to William and then back again.
