If you know the address, you can get the surname from old electoral rolls at the library nearest to Littleborough.

You could try the long way using -

https://www.freebmd.org.uk/cgi/search.pl

Enter just first name, Rochdale for district and years i.e. 1970-1975. Rochdale RD does cover Littleborough.

If you can open 2 screens next to each other you could use one each for David and John and compare the resulting surnames in the same quarter of a year. The Volume and Page number will normally be the same for twins or maybe 1 page out if a page had to be turned after one of the entries.

This will also show Mothers maiden name which you can then use to find other siblings.
