Title: Is Ivy a twin or doesn't she exist?
Post by: Bryant on Thursday 24 March 16 13:31 GMT (UK)
In 1941 Dec qtr an Ivy Fearn is stated as being born at Ploughley R.D, Oxfordshire, her sister is also born and she is alive and well and also has a middle name of Ivy.

But does Ivy exist?
The GRO has a page number of 2928 for Ivy and 2928a for her sister which is not something I have come across before, does this indicate that an error was made or that she has another sibling who was born at the same time?

Thanks Bryant

The "a" signifies amendment to the registration, so it is likely to be the same child whose name was changed after the birth was first registered.
