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

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

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!

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

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?
