The birth was registered on 15th July 1954. There is a possibility that two children were born that day to Dorothy Barton. Is there any way someone could check the birth records for me and see if there was another child ? Thanks in advance Anthony

	Hi Anthony, Have checked the register for you and there is only the one birth registered. There are no others with the same reference no. Steph

	Am I wrong in thinking twins have date & time of birth on their crets?
