My gran had 2 sets of twins, one was 2 girls but whether they were identical is not known as one of them died at birth.  The other set was my dad and his twin sister.  There are no other twins in the family either before or since my gran's twins.

Lizzie, In view of our connection with the Stanton family, Lucy Ellen Stimpson (b1885) the grandaughter of Laetitia Burton (nee Stanton) b1822 had a set of twins, non identical, boy and girl in the first decade of the 20th century. I know of no other instances of twins in the family since.
