I've received a birth certificate today.....Mary Ann born 20th March 1841 at 4.pm.... Never had a birth cert. with a time before. Can it mean she was a twin?...no other births of deaths recorded at the same time with same name.......Any ideas? .............. Thanks....Linda

if there isnt any other with the same gro ref or the next page then its unlikely she was a twin. Some registras did record the birth time on certs ,tho wasnt the norm to do so. Shirley Ps its always a poss tho on second thoughts that there may have been another child that was stillborn. which wouldnt be reg.
