If certain details of your ancestor’s wife change, but the first name remains unchanged, have you considered that he had two wives with the same first name?

Yes, and it sure makes life confusing!
Yup–it happens! It is especially hard if they were about the same age, although often the second wife was younger.
Brings new meaning to the phrase “He had a type” LOL
Yeah it does. Also he can call the second wife by the first wife’s name and she’ll never know…
