Check the birthplaces.....that's the crucial piece of data for anyone....assuming the info on the census is accurate!

They may, of course, be totally unrelated...............equally, it may be the same person

You have to start from the present, and work backwards, generation by generation, verifying with certs as you go.............

Good luck with your research
