Going by this the mother's maiden name is Huckstep but not seeing any siblings:

Could they have had a different mother? Alternatively, if they shared the same mother, could they have taken their step-fathers name. Their surname at birth would have been registered with that of their biological father, if declared.

It might be worth buying the (your sons father's) birth certificate to see if he/his brothers mother had previously been known by a different surname.

If you know the names for your sons' grandparents we might be able to work out what's going on.

No Danny's but there is a Daniel S Hopkinson born in Brighton and married in Rochdale.

Births Dec 1937
Hopkinson Daniel S Keeley Brighton 2b 237

Unfortunately, this looks to that man:

Okay, someone used the wrong mother's maiden name when registering David:

Births Sep 1918
Keeley Mary L H Huckstop Cuckfield 2b 227

Marriages Mar 1937
Hopkinson Stephen Keeley Brighton 2b 489
Keeley Mary L H Hopkinson Brighton 2b 489

Still not seeing a Frank or Francis though. There are other children born to Mary but they appear to have a different father.
