Hi,

It is not two women. It is one woman indexed under two names, probably because she was divorced or adopted (or some other reason). Check the original image for each woman and it should be clearer.

Thank you Alexander, that would explain why the initials of the person is the same, but  the surname is different, for a moment I thought the person I was chasing was a bigamist!
