Thanks again to everyone that has replied. The direction and advice has been great. It's first time I come up against twins, I'll be ready next time.

I've come across a bit of something that seems a little incongruous. I requested two birth certificates from the GRO. One was for an Augustus Samuel Cole and the other was for a Samuel Augustus Cole. The body of the certificates are the same other than the name. The date of birth, place of birth, the father, the mother date of registration and the name of the registrar. Other than the name, the only other difference is the certificate number - one is 354 and the other is 355.
Augustus Samuel died in 1927 in Leicestershire (and this is the correct one I believe), Samuel Augustus died in 1874 (it would appear, although I haven't actually sent for the certificate yet).
Has anyone else come across this apparent duality? Or anyone got any views before I send for the DC of Samuel Augustus.

That's great, thanks very much Chempat

I'm in a bit of a quandary. I've found my fourth great grandmother. She was baptised in Knutsford in 1764 along and there were some siblings baptised within a few years of her. My problem is that their father is described as William Coppock of Ludlow. Does anyone know of a place around Knutsford called Ludlow, or do I assume that he must have come from Shropshire? Thanks for any assistance

Thanks Claire. I've got those bits. He seemed to have a number of siblings, and the hat trade does run through some of the family.

Thanks again
