Twins in 1874

Eve222 · 2014-11-03 18:23:24

Does anyone know if twins born in 1874 are recorded on a birth cert, not the other twin's name, but that they were a twin. I'm going to order copies of birth certs and wondering if I could order one or if I need to order both. Thanks.

What nobody has yet mentioned is a comment on 'twins' - their pre-birth mortality rate was higher than the norm, pregnancies rarely ran to full term, the deliveries were more complicated and after their birth infant mortality was much higher.

It must have been a very worrying time for pregnant women then. One of these twins died at three months.
