Thanks very much for your prompt response.

One other comment - about the sad demise of the twins in Wolverhampton - there used to be a women's hospital there so perhaps Maggie had been taken to the Women's Hospital specifically because of the risk to her health in giving birth to twins at home?  If they died at birth or were stillborn then perhaps they didn't get registered properly or were registered in Wolverhampton where they may also have been buried. Just a guess, medical history is not my speciality.

a women's hospital...that may just be the answer - i sent for maggie's death certificate last week, so hopefully that will hold the answers.
going off at a slight tangent -this womens hospital - any idea of it's name ? - did it possibly have a 'teenage mother' ward during the 1940's ?
any help much appreciated
