    1. [ELKINGTON] Elizabeth and Elizabeth
    2. Hi, I am just completing Warwickshire Branch II notes and I have found a strange entry. Elizabeth born 1810 and died 1817. AEHE Has both the birth and death. If this is right then she was a twin. Her twin brother, John, was christened on 5 July 1810. It has not been entered under her name but because they were twins you could assume that they were christened on the same day. However, now comes my problem. There was another Elizabeth born to the same parents in 1812 whose date of christening was christened on 25 Feb 1812. Several points arise from this. 1) Why were there Two Elizabeths 2) Was the first child very weak and not expected to survive. 3) Is that why no christening is shown for the first Elizabeth who died aged 7. 4) Why was the next child called Elizabeth and christened. Has anyone any access to LDS files or church records for Church Lawford in Warwickshire. Many thanks Regards JUDY ELKINGTON _www.elkingtonfamily.com_ (http://www.elkingtonfamily.com/)
