Great Great Grandmother ??? which one is she?

[Tracey Joy Kelly]

hi everyone I am trying to help my friend with her family tree
we have come across the following and are not sure if they are the same person or not

Euphemia Sophia Maley
1 oct 1880
York

Mary Euphemia Maley

1 sept 1880
northam

they both have the same parents
Michael Maley and Clara Maria Maley



Is this the same person.. or different or twins

Hi there,

Euphemia Sophia Maley    1 oct 1880    York

Mary Euphemia Maley   1 sept 1880   northam

they both have the same parents  Michael Maley and Clara Maria Maley

Is this the same person.. or different or twins

I think this would be York and Northam in Western Australia. 

Here's the WA BDM online index. http://www.bdm.dotag.wa.gov.au/_apps/pioneersindex/

Maley  Ephemia Sophia   father as Micheal  mother as Drury Clara Maria  registered in the York Dist in 1880 and ref #  21294

There are other births to Micheal and Clara indexed there.  I cannot see one for Mary Euphemia MALEY.   I wonder if Maley is her maiden surname, or if perhaps she is a daughter in law for Michael and Clara.

Looks like Mary Euphemia married John Cookson:

A thought ...

Is it possible you are looking at an online index for baptisms?

hi there  both were born to same  mum and dad
one was born in September in York and one in October in northam..  yes  in most documents it says Euphemia mary but I wonder where the Sophia came into it   on ancestry it comes up as 2 separate people

[Jamjar]

Internet search is indicating that they are the same person.

Euphemia also, married a John Cookson.

Seems too coincidental to me.

I think Ancestry may have an index uploaded citing FHL film numbers ….    I don't know enough about Ancestry's indexes to know if this particular index is one is based on submitted info or on transcribed parish registers or a combination of many online indexes. 

  Euphemia Sophia baptism 1 Oct 1880 at Northam,  #184853, parents as Michael and Clara Maria MALEY.   
And
  Mary Euphemia MALEY born 8 Sept 1880, baptised 4 April 1885, Perth #1363647, parents as Michaelis MALEY and Mary Clara DRURY.

RED POSTS ... agree with Jamjar, likely this is one person.
