Sometimes, parents baptised their children in "batches"
Found that on my tree, two or three siblings who I had established as being different ages from the census all turn up with the same baptismal date.

Renatha I annotate on the page where the facts are

Go to the facts page and on the left above the chronological order of events in the person's life is a box with +add hit that and a list drops down, hit birth and I put in the date and area and in the description part I put in - twin of (and the other twins name)

It's simple so whenever you are on the page you will see this

e.g one set of my twins, this is Joseph's page

Birth
1876 • Stourbridge, Worcestershire, England
A twin with Job

I did something similar with the three sets of real twins that I found. First I spent ages trying to "prove" they weren't twins - for some reason that seemed so improbable. I'd never thought we had any twins until those popped up on one line over two generations.
Threlfall (Southport), Isherwood (lancs & Canada), Newbould + Topliss(Derby), Keating & Cummins (Ireland + lancs), Fisher, Strong& Casson (all Cumberland) & Downie & Bowie, Linlithgow area Scotland . Also interested in Leigh& Burrows,(Lancashire) Griffiths (Shropshire & lancs), Leaver (Lancs/Yorks) & Anderson(Cumberland and very elusive)
