Hi
Family lore states that my Sexton's had a few sets of twins over the years, always stillborn or not living for long.
I was searching FreeBMD and can see a couple of possible sets. One is:
Births Mar 1915
SEXTON Lily / Thomas / St.Olave / 1d 318
SEXTON Mary / Thomas / St.Olave / 1d 320
Deaths Mar 1915
Sexton Lily / 0 / St. Olave / 1d 226
Sexton Mary / 0 / St. Olave / 1d 227
However, both pages for birth and death are different. The mother's surname is the same (and matches what I have). Do you think they are twins and, if so, why are they listed separately on the page? (Basic genealogy stuff I'm guessing but couldn't find the answer anywhere!)
Thanks in advance.
