My grandfather had twin sisters Rose and Violet. Rose died aged 15 years. She was a bu**er to find! as she was staying with rellies on her 10th birthday.(got her in the end) Gotta big buzz the day thier birth certs arrived!!!...born 10 mins apart. Gerri x PS.. my friend is a twin and she had twins!....this is a rarity! as they say that it misses a generation.
