William Francis John Diprose, Free Settler “Berwick” 1823 and Ann Diprose have 2 children with the same name alive at the same time.

Can anyone add any information on these William's?

It does seem odd - was one known as Frederick?

Newspaper accounts of the first William have him as William Frederick or W F

Newspaaper accounts of the William who emigrated to New Zealand describe him as the son of William DIPROSE of Melville whereas the other children’s father is described as William DIPROSE of Troubridge.

It still doesn't account for the mother having the same last name? And the nearby siblings being also born in Yankalilla...

I know - its unusual to have 2 children with the same name - but not unheard of.
