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. I then went searching for another girl with the same details; finding a Margaret WALTON born/died the same period. I am quite certain; these are the 2 missing twin girls, but have yet to prove. What I am interested in at this time is; where they are likely to be buried and once found; I would be seeking to find if they've a tombstone and if so; what information is recorded on? Any help would be very much appreciated. Kindest Regards; Robert KEMSLEY Australia

Hello Robert, I have found the burial records for Dorothy & Margaret Walton; they are buried in Gateshead East Cemetery. Dorothy died aged two days and was buried on the 5th December 1905. Burial number 61729 Margaret died aged 5 days and was buried on the 7th December 1905. Burial number 61747 Both children have their father listed as Robert Walton and their home address was given as 20 Rochester Street. The children are buried in the same grave in section Y grave number 2509. The charge for each burial was six shillings. Rev Parish was the minister for Dorothy's burial Rev Spencer was the minister for Margaret's burial.
