Isabella and Elizabeth Tinnion (1911-)

[msfarrar]

Isabella May Tinnion  and Elizabeth H Tinnion were both born in Castle Ward in the second quarter of 1911.

Isabella,  my great Aunt, was born 12 May 1911 in Houghton with Close House near Heddon-on-the-wall

I am trying to determine if Elizabeth is her twin.

If these are they then they are not twins.

In the 1911 census, Isabella ...

Eliza Fletcher    Daughter    F    8    Winlaton
John Tinnion    Son-in-law    M    22    Quebeck, Durham
Hannah Tinnion    Daughter    F    20    Parish Ovingham, Northumberland
Isabella Tinnion  Granddaughter    F    0    Parish Winlaton, Durham

In Familysearch.com I see
Isabella Tinnion       in 2nd Qtr 1911 Castle Ward Vol 10B Page 378
Elizabeth H Tinnion  in 2nd Qtr 1911 Castle Ward Vol 10B Page 356

My understanding is that Isabella was born in May , just after the census ..

If Elizabeths mothers maiden name was Hunter then that means they were not twins
as Isabella's mothers maiden name was Tinnion

TUNNION, ISABELLA 
No mother's maiden name so probably illegitimate

There are 22 pages between the two birth registrations, if they were twins the birth registrations would be together.

Thank you both for the research .. Blows a theory I had ..
I have a 1/2 1C1R'ish   DNA match to a lady whos mother was Eliza..   Elizabeth H being a twin would have been a perfect fit . but it was not to be  
Onwards and upwards ..

A follow up question ..
If a GRO index lookup doesnt show the mothers maiden name, then I know its very very unlikely there will be a fathers name on the BC. But I assume that the actual Birth certificate
should always show the mothers full name? I assume it would?   

Im willing to buy a BC, but would be disappointed if the mothers name wasn't present
