One more child for Wilfred Felker?

Hail.

I've been slowly adding the children of my 2x great-grandfather, Wilfred Felker to Wikitree. I have most of them. But, I've come across a bit of a snag. In his lifetime, Wilfred was the husband of Gertrude Frances Stevens, my 2x great-grandmother and Anne Pierce. My great-grandfather was the son of Wilfred and Gertrude.

Several trees and censuses have a son named George Amos as a full brother to Austin, my great-grandfather. He was apparently born February 2nd, 1893 in Newburyport, Mass. I can't seem to find anything to confirm that aside from his World War I draft card. The family lived in Haverhill. Haverhill and Newburyport are fifteen miles away from each other.

It gets weirder from here. My great-grandfather doesn't appear in the census with his parents as he was living with his grandfather, Jeremiah. George Amos was living with Wilfred and Annie in the 1910, 1920 and 1940 censuses.

I don't know if there were two George Amos Felkers or what. But, I would like some proof before I go ahead and make the profile. Can someone help me find more information about this guy? Thanks in advance!

Edit: I also just noticed that George Amos's supposed birthday is five months after my great-grandfather's. That raises a few eyebrows, too.

Austin: 25 Sep 1892 Haverhill

George Amos: 2 Feb 1893 Newburyport

I think there may be two conflated George Amoses here. May need to find the right one. The censuses say 1894.

A George Amos also married an Alma Brace on 2 Dec 1916 in Haverhill and that marriage lists parents as Wilfred and Annie. For comparison, I checked out my great-grandfather and the document said Wilfred and Gertrude.

Probably not the same guy as my George. His father was Wilfred. Just dunno if the mother was Gertrude or Annie.
Could be the other George A and he has got muddled in with yours
It's definitely a possibility. Lot of things seem to be muddled here.
