Hi I am looking for the birth of twins born either WHITECHAPEL LONDON or MILE END OLD TOWN. Father JACOB ABRAHAM mother SARAH PEFFER. The twins died young before 1ST birthday, they are not on the 1901 census, but on the 1911 census it says 9 live births 2 died. I hope some-one can help me with this.

Just curious. How do you know that the 2 children who died were twins and that both children died before they were 1 year old?

There does not appear to have been the birth registration of twins in either the Whitechapel or Mile End Old Town registration districts between 1891~1911.

a couple of possibles, but not twins

posting this for all the helpers to see

and in the children who have died column it does actually say "2 (twins)" and just underneath it says "11 months" at least it looks like months
