If so, is there an efficient way to find the other siblings? ________________________________________________________________________ In Scotland the time of birth was put on all birth certificates. In England and Wales it usually means a multiple birth, except for the early years of registration when some registrars entered the time for single births. If it's a multiple birth, you should find another birth for the same surname with exactly the same GRO reference - assuming of course that the births were recorded on the same page of the register.
