I have just noticed your enquiry re: Shenley Hospital.  The hospital was actually in the village of Shenley not Elstree as you have written.  There is also a churchyard in Radlett in which some people from Shenley have been buried.  I do have a book on who is buried in Radlett Churchyard and can look up for you if need be.  The other place that you could try is West Herts Crematorium in Garston, Watford which is not to far from Shenley.  Where I work at the moment have got nurses that used to work in Shenley and when I go back to work from sick leave I could ask them if need be.  I hope that this could be of some help to you.

I am a twin but sadly my twin brother passed away three years ago.  When we were younger both my parents said that there were no twins on either side of the family but when I started looking into my father's side of the tree I found that his father was from a second marriage and that there were twins on the great grandfather's side so it seems to have come down the paternal side! but also there are twins on my paternal grandmother's side as well!  I haven't got very far on my mum's side but I will carry on looking.
Reading through what has been said I can relate to the girl who was asked whether she and her brother were identical or not as I have been through the same thing, which was funny as my brother was a foot taller than me! Mind you I have to say that we felt each other's pain which was good when I had my two sons as Tim had the pain and I didn't!!!

Hi Rick
Thank you very much for the information.  Round Bush is actually a hamlet just outside of Aldenham and the pub is still there!  They do very good food.  I think I need to go back a bit earlier.  I have got some of the information already but the extra comes in handy.  Wheathampstead is only about a twenty minute drive from Radlett where I live.
My father actually worked for a firm based in Round Bush until he died last December so it is a coincidence that his family used to live in that area.

Thanks Carol
All I know is that is must of been there in 1859.  Your help is much appreciated.

I have a two nieces, one of fifteen and one of 10.  They are both interested the younger one more so as last year they lost Nanny, Grandad and Grandma in the space of five months and also three years ago their Uncle, my twin.  After Mum died Dad found some certificates etc and I said about finding out more as Dad didn't know how his family worked.  Just before he died last December I had managed to find out how some of his cousins worked in the family and about when his sister died at 3 months old.  I didn't do alot after Dad died but then my youngest niece said to me if I help you can we do the tree in memory of Nanny and Grandad so I have carried on and every time she comes over she adds a bit more to her book.  When I went to FRC last week I bought her a chart to put on her bedroom wall so she can see how it pans out.  I have decided to make up files for my sister, brother and two sons to keep so they can add to it in the future, although my sons have said they have no interest they do ask every so often if I have found out anymore!!
