Hi Rose,

Just checked the quarters either side of the birth for a Lilian/Lillian, no surname, looking for twins in the Islington area. No joy.

I'm stumped!!!

As it was war time I'm thinking perhaps his mother wasn't married or something else along these lines.....

One small thing, he married as Gascoigne.

Hi Jayne,

I spotted them aswell, do you think the twins could have been born before the marriage and their names changed at a later date??

Just seems strange we can't find either of them!!

There appear to be a set of twins in 1907 - Leonard and Dorothy ???

I have been trying to find out details of my grandfathers family history but keep hitting a brick wall as I can not find any brith records.

His name is James Henry Gascoine born 01/08/1917 in London (Islington?) he has a twin sister Lillian
He married Maud Waddilove on 25/12/1938

Also, Ive also been told by there was a Train converted into a hotel that was owned by uncles. Any information on this would be great

I'm the last in this line and would love to find out anything that can start me off finding out my roots.

Thank you
