Can you find them later than 1841 as don't forget ages on that are rounded down so aren't very reliable. How about deaths?

I've got that in my tree as well- two children, undoubtedly of the same couple, supposedly born around three months apart. I think in most cases the person writing the record gets so used to writing the same year over and over that he absentmindedly writes it in for a child born prior to that year. My suspicion here is that it is two siblings of different ages done at once.

Are there any other references to them being twins?  If not, then I would agree with Ayashi

Have you found them on the 1851. They are living next door to each other, George 41, Everdon 39.

So not twins! Looks as if George was born 1810 if that is right.

Looks as if George may have baptised twice.  Once in 1810 in Holy Trinity, Gosport and again in 1812  in High Street independent, Gosport

My apologies----have only just realised i hadn't replied with a  'Thank you' for your responses.
Cannot find a definitive answer to their ages.

George's marriage cert didn't show an age and Ancestry trees all go with  1812.
1861 census for George shows him b 1814. His birth date on his death info is shown as 1811.

I'm still scratching around for Everdon. One census has her down as a Male !
Until i can spend more time with them i will just put good old 'circa' down on my tree.  ;D
