• Notes

  . The twin boys were born March 1900 if memory recalls. The twin is registered as having been born and dying on the same day. No name has been recorded in Births/deaths Registers. So in 1900 if he was registered, he had to have "lived" for even but a short time. It was extremely sad - in the womb, baby George's elbow had embedded itself into the twin's head and apparently it was severely deformed. The story of this poor baby was told to us by George Junior's ( as I will refer to him as, because it gets confusing) daughter. She said that it was quite openly spoken of - so the child was not " hidden" from the family. But she said it appeared the child was not named. I must apply for the death certificate, as although we believe he was buried in the same little cemetery as the other three children, we are not sure. Babies who were still born or died matters of hours later, were often cremated in the hospital crematorium. The death certificate will of course also give a name if the baby was named. I did look for an autopsy but there is not one.
