Numbering

We have a real problem with numbering of the various William Rathbones. Compare, for example, the source that says a son of William Rathbone II married Mary, sister of Abraham Darby II (see the WRII article) with the information in William Rathbone IV which seems to indicate that Joseph was his son.

Similarly, sources such as this and this seem to be using different numbering. This is likely to be extremely messy to untangle, except where the sources clarify to whom they are referring by noting dates of birth and death. - Sitush (talk) 11:45, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I've posted links to this section on all of the related WR article talk pages. Probably makes sense to untangle it centrally on this one. - Sitush (talk) 11:49, 31 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
