I've always checked the others on the page and found 2 sets of twins so far! I also check others on the deaths in case the mother died in childbirth - it might show the baby? Debby

Greeting’s Aileen… Fully agree with you it pays to “ look at others on the page “……… Whist researching my Father’s side came across two females born same date and the same coordinates. Thought maybe a mistake (Wrong name given ) So sent off for both certificates…. And YES they were twins so family tree grew The only sad part of this is that my Father had passed away before I found this out. So not able to pass on details of his new found Family.. He was a Dr Barnardo's Boy… MIKE.

....however I always check in the case of a marriage and then 'pair up' the people on the page to see if I can find a 'family' in a later census...it sometimes works! Aileenx

Just had a thought after reading Tracy's message about twins...if I find an entry on Ancestry or a site where you can check other entries on a page, I don't usually bother in the case of a birth however you never know if there is a twin of the person you are looking for on there, do you? You are all probably thinking *what an absolute dipstick!* Hope you get what I'm saying! Aileenx
