see below having picked up my certs from local RO (an hour after ordering them!) I think I might have one wrong one.Does having the time of birth always mean twins? this is the first one I've had with time on, oh by the way it's 1841 |

Just pre-empting your first post,a time is not a guarantee of twins.Some (but not many certs) have a time when the birth was not for twins. Glen |

Just as a thought,perhaps there were twins and one was very ill,perhaps only living for a very short while. I guess that there might be an entry under 'male *surname* ' (or female for a girl obviously).I have a few like that in my tree where the youngster died when only a day or two old,and yes in three instances they were a twin (i think i have 8 or 9 sets in my tree) Perhaps the parents quoted on the cert might come up on a parent search on the IGI?Anything likely on the 1841 (don't tell me......... it is after the census night) Glen |
