Ah there are 2 different couples.
Did 2 brothers marry 2 sisters perhaps ?

Perhaps Julian and Harold were cousins

Thank you everyone for yr help, I realised I put the wrong date for older Julian sorry for the confusion.
I can't figure out the family, Mike I wonder if yr right to brothers marrying sisters as I have two Herbert Triggs one born 1917, the other 1918, neither died early and have the same mother's maiden name Hughes, Also I am really confused as there not twins, but are brothers, but the dates don't add up!!
Reggie although yr details match, my Harold lived untill 1985.
Catherine I'm confused by Alice too!
Would you be able to help me with Barbara Ruston b1943 Wallasey? I can't find a birth cert for her, Thank you

If you knew that about Harold, why didn't you say?

There really is very little point in just posting names and supposed birth years, and expecting people to discern what you know, and what you're asking for

To 'work out' the family.....research it carefully....working backwards, and buying certs if necessary to to get factual info

Looking again at those marriages, I'm not sure the 2 brides were sisters as one is Margaret and the other Maggie ( surely sisters wouldn't basically have the same name ?)
