The source provided in her about shows Esther "Norris" as the wife of John Crane

https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/186956487/esther-crane

Her mother(s)' dates, don't work for this profile, but the Norris parents' dates work fine with her birthdate of 1678. However "Henry Norris and Abigail Stretton" are now her husband's MATERNAL grandparents. However of his mother the best source I can find only says, "It is said that [she] was a Danish woman, with red hair..."

On June 27th, 2015, Henry Norris was added as the father of this profile under discussion here: Esther Crane (Williams) -- wife of John Crane.

Then on May 14th, 2016 a mixed up merge was made introducing the conflicting Williams parents [Esther Crane (Norris) was merged into Esther Crane (Williams)]:

Shortly afterwards, the parents of both Esther Norris and John Crane were changed:

Esther Crane (Williams)'s parents were changed to Samuel Williams and Esther Williams (Wheeler)

John Crane, (1668 - 1724)'s parents were changed to Stephen Crane, 1630 and Esther Crane (Norris)

A source is given for the current family group:

After that merge and change of parents Henry Norris?through=6000000003867145788 and his wife Abigail Norris were left with no children despite the About statement claiming they had one daughter, "Esther Norris Crane (1678 - 1748)".

However in the present family group, John Crane's mother is now Esther Crane with grandparents Henry Norris and Abigail Norris

....John Crane's grandparents Henry Norris and Abigail Stratton are dupicates of his wife's original Geni parents. Problem with that is the grandparents are too young for their 'daughter' (his mother) Esther Crane . Or she's too old, maybe.

The conflict I'm dealing with that has served to uncover all this is that the 'borrowed' and renovated "Esther (Williams) Crane" (wife of John Crane) still carries the birth year included with her original profile as a Norris daughter.

That birth year does not work well in this current family group. Firstly, she has a half-brother born the same year, Joseph Williams by their father's unknown first wife.

Secondly, their father's second wife (another "Esther") would have been far too young to bear any children in 1678, having been born in 1666.

Esther Williams

(It's a little unusual for a man to have 1) Mother, 2) Mother-in-law, 3) Wife, and 4) Daughter, all named "Esther". Not impossible, but somewhat odd.)

So I know that's a lot, and it involves at least a couple of MPs. I hoped it would be a simple fix, but the more I look into John Crane's maternal line and his wife's ancestry, the more problems I find with it.

Sorry, I just thought anyone with Crane ancestry might want to take a closer look at this branch before adding them to your tree. She just my alleged 8th grand aunt, so I may have fortunately dodged that one.
