Londonbelle, births should be correct, as the twins were born in Dec. 1929 so births wouldn't have been registered until 1930

On Raymond W Giles birth registration there is is a different mother's maiden name....it could just be a clerical error

Do you have the twins exact date of birth?
This will help proove, or disproove if 1939 is correct.

Something else that would help to proove, or not, is the marriage of the girl twin, Anne. Did she go on to marry and become Prior?

Do you have his marriage cert for his father's name and occupation? What was Archibald's occupation?

I am having difficulty in tracing this gentleman - the only Census shows him as a young child in Taunton. I know they lived in the East London area and Elizabeth died in 1960 Romford and he passed a few years later. They had three children - twins Donald Harvey and Anne 1930 and Raymond William b 1940. I was married to Raymond (his second wife), who never spoke of his father except to say he was a unpleasant man prone to violence. I am eager to learn some family history to pass on to my adult children (hopefully for Xmas) - that's the plan anyway !! Can anyone help ?
