I found one sister who was a couple of years older and I found the marriage of the parents my husband remembers the girl in question as he was about 4 years older. her name Eileen Garrett mothers name Goddard born in Woolwich......................Older sister Marlene born 1933 their marriage in 1932.

I've trawled through the BMDs for my uncles and couldn't find them. I knew they (twins) had to be there somewhere and they were. I found that the mother's maiden name was not the mother's maiden name at all but their grandmother's maiden name. Can only imagine that having twins must have been doubly draining mentally! Another uncle has my grandmother's maiden name spelt incorrectly. Also same old problem of child being known by middle name rather than registered first name caused me extra umpteen hours for one of the twins.

Margaret there is a Shirley Garrett born in september quarter 1936 in Portsmouth MMN Goddard 2b-768. Is she one of yours? Georgina.
