I wish to know why there are two Walter Scott's listed on Wikitree as brothers, surely a father would never give the same name to two brothers of the same marriage

Regards

Eric

Maybe the first Walter died as a young child.  It was quite common for parents to give the next baby of the same sex the same name.
