Kellett-152 and Kellett-94 do not represent the same person because: Profile being reused for son

Kellett-152 and Kellett-94 appear to represent the same person because: Having done some work on these profiles I believe they are in fact the same person. Consultation with my colleagues confirms the need to merge these profiles into one. You manage both of the profiles.

Appreciate it if you would review and complete this merge so further work can be done to assist you in building this interesting profile and this branch of the tree
