Robert, Rev Parish, the minister at the burial of Dorothy Walton was from St Cuthbert's Church. Rev Spencer, the minister at the burial of Margaret Walton was from Holy Trinity parish church. I checked the baptism records for both churches yesterday but the twins were not recorded in either. The children are buried in consecrated ground which to me indicated they were baptised however it is strange that ministers from different parishes took the burial services.

These are the twin girls said by family to have been "Stillborn", which was not the case. Dorothy Ann lived 2 days; Margaret 5. Kindly having been supplied with their burial details yesterday morning by a fellow list member; I am now wondering: were they Christened? Is it likely that they were "Christened"?
