In preping house to sell was running dedicated circuit to bathroom for
gfi socket as bathroom had no socket only only light switch.
discovered that all upstairs (bathroom and 3 bedrooms) were on 2 (two)
20 amp breakers that were ganged. Also found the old wiring was 14
gage. I will of course be replacing the breakers with 15 amp
breakers. Anyone have any idea why the breakers were ganged and when
replaced must I also use ganged 15s or just one for each of the two
circuits?

If the two circuits are both going to the same outlet, then the breaker
should be ganged. (From what I have read) If not then someone probably
just used what was available. But I wouldn't ungang them unless you can
map out the circuit 100%.
