Heya everyone, I have another odd little mystery, as many of you may know I have 2 Annie's Phillips born at the same time in the same year and location. One of them married Thomas Preston and I originally had 8 children for them, I was randomly searching Family Search when I came across a birth for a Reginald Phillips Preston in Jul/Aug/Sep 1908.
Seeing as how most of the children have the Phillips attached I immediately assumed him to be one of mine, I searched FreeBDM which had the Sept part, so I added him to the tree which changed it to July and had a death in October the same year. But then I noticed something odd, the previous child had also been born in 1908 with the Oct/Nov/Dec which is what has me puzzled, could they have been twins with a mix up in the register or was one registered a year later? A search of Stockton Roots also has the boys registered as 1908.
The other children were born in 1899,1900,1903,1904,1906,1912 & 1916 respectively.
