Leedy-46 and Leedy-180 appear to represent the same person because: Birth date, parents, and siblings all the same. Leedy-180 appears to have more complete info so I would recommend merging and additional information from Leedy-46 into Leedy-180 and remove Leedy-46.

Believe this is the same person as Leedy-180 which has more information. Probable merge required.
