Duplicating hierarchy of accounts

I would like to duplicate a hierarchy of accounts (as I have a Junior ISA for
each of my twins and they are identical) This has a top level placeholder
account, then a number of stock and bank accounts below it. 

The only reference I can find to doing this in gnucash is here:
http://gnucash.1415818.n4.nabble.com/Is-there-any-way-to-copy-an-account-sub-hierarchy-td1424297.html
However, it doesn't actually explain how to do it.

I have tried copying the whole structure of the account and its
sub-accounts, but the lower accounts then point to the original. So I then
tried removing the guid's from each of the subaccounts, but that just
blanked the values on all my accounts. 
Could someone please explain the best way of achieving this?
Thanks!
