For a somewhat different prospective: I have not studied your problem closely, but from what I have gleaned, you in fact do not know how (or even if) these two people are actually related.
I never link people in my database until I have documentation to support the link. I enter suspected or suggested relationships only as notes for the relevant person(s). The only time I enter "unknown" persons is if I have documentation that 2 or more people are siblings, but I don't know the name of their parents. If I thought the possibility was strong enough, I might enter Simon Lee in the database, along with any links to his relatives that I have "proven," but I would not link him up to your relative Rebecca until I had the documentation to "prove" the relationship. Notes for one or both of them would be sufficient in my mind.
