You know that her parents married in 1901
You have confirmation of her MMN for her brother's birth certs
Elizabeth was born in between the marriage & her brother's births therefore she shares the same parents
Unless you are desperate for her birth cert I would say that you have enough evidence without it

DO YOU THINK THAT THE POSSIBILITY OF ANOTHER PAIR OF TWINS ONE WITH THE NAME OF GEORGE IN THAT AREA WITH THE SURNAME SMITH WOULD WOULD BE FAR FETCHED?? ( I DO NOT KNOW HER MOTHER AND FATHERS NAME JUST GOING ON THE CERT OF THE TWINS)

Do you have Elizabth's marriage cert? Does that name her dad as William Amos Smith with the same occuation as the twins?

Janice

Janice Report 28 Oct 2008 19:22

Was Elizabeth born before they got married then do you think?
