Merger Proposal

There are two articles about the same woman. Frances Carr, Countess of Somerset and this one are about the same woman. Bstbll (talk) 20:35, 17 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, they're not the same women. Mvdleeuw (talk) 07:05, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have already pointed this out on Frances Carr's talk page.--Jeanne Boleyn (talk) 07:22, 19 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm an idiot and I apologize. I just saw that they both lived around the same time, had the same name, and were both granddaughters of Dukes of Norfolk named Thomas and made an assumption. I don't know how I managed to miss the fact that their biographies were completely different. Sorry about that. I posted this same thing on the other one as well.Bstbll (talk) 04:51, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I must apologize. I thought a mixup had been made between two Francesses but I were wrong. Good article! Marjon van Aken.

Her family name is not Stewart, it's Howard.

She's not Fraces Stewart.

This family can be confusing because Seymour married two different women both baptised Frances Howard, with different parents. They are frequently confused and children linked to the wrong parents. That said I suggest the article editors settle on a naming convention for this woman, that uses her actual name (Howard) not Stewart, or perhaps hyphenate her various married names? 2600:4040:5AEF:B400:7EBC:C3A2:4710:6A79 (talk) 20:41, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have reliable sources that prove your claim? - OpalYosutebito (talk) 20:42, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, "Howard" was her birth name. When she married, it became Stewart, as that was her husband's surname. - OpalYosutebito (talk) 20:43, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
