I whole heartily agree with JTF. It is not that uncommon to have more than one
child with the same name in the 17, 18, and early 1900's. One child might have
died as an infant or at a very early age and the next child (son or daughter as
the case might be) will be given the same name. Which sometimes is easy to tell
because of the birth and or death dates. What I do in this case is label the
as "John (1)" and the next as "John (2)" to keep them apart. So don't just
assume that the two names are an error.

A quick caution with duplicate children - some duplicates are real. For
example, when the first name dies an infant, the name might be reused with a
later child. Otherwise merge them is the better option since it gives you an
opportunity to collect all information fields vs. deleting a person and losing
something.
