No. I've not read what he said yet, but he could have made his suggestion better by firstly, pointing out the types of problem you have mentioned, and secondly by suggesting cross referencing the potential parents by looking for wills and/or death/birth entries which could help determine whether the marriage found was the right one. Also electoral rolls and no doubt 1000 other ways to help confirm, but to just go ahead and say "there's one left so that must be the right marriage" without any qualification seems crazy!
