hi there
on the great 1911 census i found out that my grandmother had 6 siblings unbeknown to the family. Her name was Mary Ellen craven the only one child to survive. the other six children had died As a family we had heard of 3 of the children, Elizabeth Jane, Henry Tom, Annie Victoria May so i was hoping to find out about the others but nobody in the family knew of them so I went to the Leeds library to the local studies area where in a baptism record for st matthews (little London ) 1885 - 1899 (local church to the family address at the time ) I found a little one called Louisa craven to gr grandparents henry and Susan ( real name Susanna ) craven but no more names were found. I then came home and went on ancestry where i came across a Louisa craven born qtr o/n/d Leeds vol 9b Page 531 1896 which ties in with the baptism record but also on same page there was a Sarah craven so I went back to the library the following day to see if i had missed her in the baptisms and she was not there I was wondering how would i know if Louisa had a twin. Could anyone so kindly advise me or give me an idea what to do now. Is there another way of finding the names of the other children? many thanks
