could that be a error? i have bc here says jan, i wish i knew his siblings dob;s

What there is, though:

You don't actually have your Frederick's birth cert, that's right?

So he could have been registered as Williams if they weren't married?

well thankyou for all your hard work too, i am grateful, thought i as going batchy, still i am sad i ould love to find my roots, i will check that death out though,

And oops, I missed that you said you had the birth cert for Frederick Boswell, so those Williams-s aren't them!

i have bc it list as sarah boswell formerly williams in brentood sub isleworth no 205 and has 41946 at the top

Yeh, Tracey -- I go at it all in a lump and too often find I've been overtaken by the time I finish obsessing ...

;)

the hare and tortoise.... but you do it so eloquently...

Oh Kim the birth was registered in the Mar quarter, this covers Jan Feb and Mar, your father being born in Jan is right for the registration quarter...

Kim -- I still can't even get the birth straight.

You say:

"i have bc it list as sarah boswell formerly williams in brentood sub isleworth no 205 and has 41946 at the top"

Does "brentood" mean Brentwood?

... No, it must mean Brentford, because Isleworth is a sub dist of Brentford, not Brentwood.

So the one thing we know for sure is that this is his birth? --

Frederick Oliver Boswell
1907 Jan-Feb-Mar
Brentford Middlesex

So if you knew he was Frederick *Oliver* Boswell it would have helped to say that in the first place?!

So at this point -- can you just confirm yay or nay -- that's him?

I do have to go, but I'll give it a think tomorrow - my time. ;)

aw bless ty, i couldnt even find it,

Kim there is def no twin registration for that birth that i can see.....

yes sorry thats him , yes and i must get some shut eye as i am up again soon, the birds are singing already, lol ty so much

really, ! my grand parents were always going on about how small they were and how lucky fred was to be alive,,,,, well i never theres a turn up

Hmmmm, maybe they were referring to another twin set? or that the other child was a stillborn and registered onto a different register...that is of course possible!

I wonder ...

Did she maybe die before the births were registered?

There doesn't seem to be a matching birth.

sorry my w key is janked,

Kathryn, thought you were leaving us ...LOL?

that is a possibility i have no-one to ask , but i will follow all leads , , cheers

If there is a time against the date of birth then there was more than one child born alive at the birth. If however a mother had twins, one live born and one still born, then the live born twin will not have a time against the birth. I believe that until 1926 there were no registrations at all of a still born child. Having said that, again the early registrations are not consistent.

If a child lived even for a few seconds there should be both a birth registration and a death registration but I think in the early days that this wasn't always done.
