	Hi all, I have a couple (ernest haynes+ Beatrice Thorpe) married in march 1925 with the following children: Thomas - March 1924 Ernest - born march 1925, registered june george - sept 1926 vera 1928 joyce 1929 percy 1930 I have also found nearby an: Alfred 1918 and an everline 1919 which would make the mother around 14 and 15 yrs old at the time of birth (if it is the same couple). Is it more likely to be the same couple just having children well before marriage or another couple with same names ?

	are you sure that the first list are children born to Ernest and Beatrice?? ie, have you got the birth certificates that prove this? You can only be certain of the parentage of any of the children if you do indeed buy each and every certificate. there is also a Samuel that you forgot, who also has the same mmn Births Mar 1918 (99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Alfred Thorpe Basford 7b 415 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1919 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Everline Thorpe Basford 7b 488 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1921 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Samuel A Thorpe Basford 7b 357 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Mar 1924 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Thomas O Thorpe Basford 7b 354 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Jun 1925 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Ernest Thorpe Nottingham 7b 807 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Sep 1926 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes George G Thorpe Nottingham 7b 657 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1928 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Vera Thorpe Nottingham 7b 586 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Dec 1929 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Joyce Thorpe Nottingham 7b 585 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Births Sep 1930 (>99%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haynes Percy Thorpe Nottingham 7b 667 sylvia

	Agh thank you ! i didnt see James and Mary. Having yet another blonde day. I have not ordered these certificates yet, (I was determining the odds so I don't purchase too many from unrelated lines lol) From navy and other australian records I know that Ernest 1925 is definately the son of Beatrice and Ernest (7b 577) george, vera, joyce and percy seem to be the next lot to confirm!

	You may find that two brothers married two sisters - it was very common around that time.
