Where does this son appear duplicated?
If it's in Relationships view of one of the parents and he's shown with 
a wife and child twice over, his duplicate families should have 
different ID numbers. Check. You ought to be able to remove one of 
these, leaving the other intact.

In any case, if removing one of the families causes him to disappear, 
Edit=>Undo should bring you back to square one.


(If he were duplicated in People view, you could try Merge persons - 
there again, if it turned out to be wrong, Edit=>Undo would unmerge the 
persons).

Let us know how you get on.
