John Wilson and Catherine Wilson are on Geni with 3 sons called George but with different dates

George Henry Wilson, 1871-1959
* born 1871
* died 1959

George Frederick Wilson, (1873-1956)
* born 1872

Private
* born 1875
* died 1958

It seems unlikely that they named 3 children with the same name - do we have the names backwards or have children from different families become confused or are they really the same person?
