Nell, Cheers for that. I think i will send for it just in case. If it does turn out to be someone elses babe, then i'll stick it on the unwanted certs on here. Actually, my gran had twins that didnt survive, so it could be that her mum Ruth was a twin after all, if it carries on in generations. (as long as it dosnt carry onto me.) :-/// Jac xx

If the babies were twins, they would be registered at the same time, so they would be on the same page. The volume number applies to a wide area which can cover more than one county. But the same vol & page number means they were registered at the same time, so I guess they could be twins, especially as there's a time on the birth cert of one of them. BUT sometimes one finds babies with the same surname registered at the same time who aren't twins. I have Williams twins, but there;s another Williams on the same registration page. I know they aren't triplets as I found the twins' baptisms on the IGI. nell

Hi, I had a thread on here a week or so ago and found exactly the same thing - I believe these are twins like mine. Dea x

Hello all, After reading Yvonnes thread on here earlier, ive realised i could be looking for a twin for my great grandmother , as the time of day (1.30am) is on her birth cert which she said maybe cos its a multiple birth...................anyway........ive gone back on FreeBMD and there is another birth with same Surname - in the same Sept quarter 1859 -and same Vol and Page number....does that mean anything?? it reads Naomi Bevan Mythr Tydfil 11a 319 Ruth Bevan Mythr Tydfil 11a 319 is the same Vol and Page significant or not.?? (they are even next to each other when i viewed the original page on FreeBMD) So..................do i send for the cert or not????????? :-/ Cheers Jac xx (Ever Hopeful..!)
