Hi, on my GGG Grandfather's birth cert in 1839, under the section when and where born, it states 25th June 1839 (ok so far!) - L.P.M at the Star and Garter. I presume the Star and Garter refers to a pub/inn etc. in Kensington, (then) Middlesex, but I don't know what the initials L.P.M stand for. Any ideas? |

Hiya What does it say for Mum and Dad? Oh, and also are the letters in capitals or lower case? A |

Doh! Have just taken a closer look, and I think the L might be a 2 - which makes much more sense - 25th of June 1839 - 2PM at the Star and Garter! Haven't seen times on birth certificates before, but this is the oldest one I have, so it might have been the norm then? Thanks for your help though! |

apparently sometimes when the time was given at birth it could indicate more than one birth ie twins etc. Julie |

If you don't find a birth cert for the other one, then he may still have been a twin - but the other one might have been stillborn. -Kat |
