Hi Robert Not that it may change your overall request, stillbirths were not registered at that time, it only started in 1927 When this has come up before it has been said that burials of stillborn babies could be as simple as being slipped into the coffin or grave of a burial happening at the time with nothing recorded The two births are on the same page which does suggest there was a connection but you may find the only way to prove the connection is to buy the certificates It would not be the first time that cousins were registered on the same day Have you found your grandparents in 1911? it should state how many children were born to the marriage I wish you well with your search Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK) > Twould seem I've possible found the twin girls (Stillborn) said > born/died to my Grandparents WALTON 1905? > > Whilst researching my LAYBOURN family recently; I stumbled across a > Dorothy Ann WALTON b) December Quarter 1905, Gateshead; My mother was > Dorothy Ann WALTON & her Mother was Dorothy Ann LAYBOURN. > > Thinking this to much of a coincidence; I researched further, finding > Dorothy Ann WALTON died the same period.

<<Nivard wrote. > Have you found your grandparents in 1911? it should state how many > children were born to the marriage>> To add to what Nivard wrote about how many children born to a marriage being shown in the 1911 the entry would also show how many of those children were living and how many had died. It also shows how many years the couple have been married for. Something that you could do perhaps, once you have seen the 1911 census entry and if you still think that those two children might belong in your family, is to place an order for the copies of the entries via the GRO website http://www.gro.gov.uk/gro/content/ . If you and add checking information to the order for each entry the GRO will check the entries against your information and will only send you a copy if the entry matches up. You could add the mothers name and maiden name to the birth entries as checking information. The death entries I think might only have the fathers name and his occupation on them. I am going by the two childrens death cert copies for 1846 that I have for my family, they only show them as son and daughter of John Smith seaman, mother's name is not given at all. So I would add the fathers name only to the checking information for the death entries and see what comes up as a result. You will be sent, and your card charged for, copies of any matching entries. but the GRO do also make a charge for checking entries when the entry does not match, I think at present this is about half the cost of a cert. copy, so a little saving and you would not end up with copy certs that are useless to you. Check their website for current charges for checking entries. But first of all try to find the parents entry in the 1911 census and see what that shows for their children, alive and dead. You will find this census via a link on the findmypast site, it is a pay per view census. regards Jenny DeAngelis Spain.
