Are you sure these children are all (presumably) your uncles/aunts/father/mother? I guess you are because it is reasonably recent. Do you have every certificate? Is the father and mother's name the same apart from the maiden name? If you've just spotted these on the GRO index it would seem to indicate several different families. Forgive me if you do have all the certs - in that case I'm not sure what to think unless your Gran had a bad memory! Anne
