have you tried using the birth search at www.gro.gov.uk or are you using freebmd?
I haven't tried the birth search; I think I'll have to investigate.  I've been using The Genealogist and freebmd.

Baptized 10 Jul 1892....

Edith Mary b. 29 May 1890

Ismay Dorothy b. 27 Apr 1892

Daughters of William and Tryphena Green; William a Laborer; abode Wolvercote

Parish of Wolvercote Oxford

So it looks like Ismay's age was recorded incorrectly in the census.

PB

Edith Mary's birth is registered as Edith Louisa (Headington RD, 1890 Q3) ::) but it is the same person.

I thought the year could be wrong when I couldn't find her as a twin to Maud.  It looks as though Jebber may have found her registered as Ebney Dorothy - right mmn, although why she was registered in Woodstock is a puzzle ???.

Baptized 07 Oct 1900....

Georgina Florence Green b. 09 Aug 1900

Parents William and Tryphena of High St Headington; William a Laborer

Parish of Headington Oxford

PB

Her birth is registered as just Georgina (Headington RD, 1900 Q3) ::).

Many thanks for your help.

Many thanks to you all for helping with this :)

I had thought that with a couple of fairly unusual names these two would be easy to find but I hadn't banked on their parents switching and dropping names (although I suppose by the time they got to Dorothy Florence - the last of the 12 - they may have been losing the plot ;D).

I suppose some people just don't want to be found 8).

The family is living in Wolvercote in 1892. It is in Woodstock Registration District.
