For twins the time is always entered on the birth certificate mainly for inheritance purposes.

Thanks for all your helpful replies. Clearly Harry was not a twin so you have saved me the cost of buying a wrong certificate.

Cheers

not really about the original question but while I was doing a search I came across your thread & thought this may interest you As I have added it to Find A Grave.

Welcome to Rootschat.

Lyla hasn't been on here since 2013, so I've sent her a PM to advise her of your post.  Hope she gets it.

Recording the births of twins with birth times may not seem so important today but in past times especially for male twins inheritance and titles could be involved for Royalty and Landed Gentry.

What lovely find - thanks for posting the link.

 I haven't looked at my files for a long time but unfortunately I don't think he turned out to be closely connected to my Harry Horley.

Thanks Lizzie for the PM
