How do I force merge contacts in Google Contacts?

1. Open your Contacts List
2. Hover over the icon/avatar image that appears on the left of your contact. This displays a 'radio' box. Click this to check and select the contact.
3. Scroll to, and repeat for the other contact / contacts you want to merge together.
4. Click the branch symbol that appears at the top of the contacts page in a temporary bar (it is a vertical blue arrow with an extra leg and shows after the second selection).
5. Merging will now take place
6. You will have to check name details because some will be over-written by the process
