Is that the right GRO number Meg as it is for the Sept qtr and you said the twins were born in March so the latest would be the June qtr for registration

Researching:
Liverpool (Cartwright, Chambers, Miller), Todmorden (Sutcliffe, Mallison), Abergavenny (Watkins, Prosser)

Don't think Brenda is the correct twin as she and her sister have a different gro no to the one Madmeg gave. Good try though!

(info deleted as the person was born in the 1940's and hopefully alive)

If MM doesn't mind giving the mmn, we might be able to find the birth name with a better chance of any death

Hi Detective,

I'm not sure what info I should give, as the person is probably still alive.

Yes Startibartblast, I should get the cert, will do so now. I am pretty sure it will show a twin, with the time of birth on the cert.

No death is showing for her.

The ref is (EDIT, deleted).

Can anybody do anything with that? I doubt it.

Have you found the Birth GRO ref? If you'd like to give them here, someone may be able to sort it out for you.

You don't need to give the names, so you are rightly, protecting living people

Have you looked for a possible early death of the 2nd twin?
Sadly it is possible that if she had a disability, it could be that she was placed in a home.
I know of a family who had a son around that time. Because of a mental handicap, he was shut away and not acknowledged by his family, who raised his sister as an only child with the best of private education.

Hi folks.

I know there are twin girls born to a family of mine in Mar 1949. The surname is not unusual, but the mother's maiden name is VERY unusual. So I am convinced they are twins. The thing is, the living family (of which there are many) declare they have never heard of the second twin, and so I must be wrong.

The family is upper middle class. No Ag labs or cotton weavers in their history, all army sergeant majors and accountants and the like. So they didn't pass over the child for money reasons. But might she have been disabled, either mentally or physically, and they sent her to a high class home, or even had her adopted.

Any ideas please how I can find out.

Madmeg

EDIT. Anyone reading, please carry on and you will see that I determined they were not twins. However, it seems there might have been twins after all, and so I have a further question at the end.

Feeling that this might be sensitive to the family, I've removed the hints I gave earlier that could identify them.
