You need to find out who they married then I suppose? Or are you after ancestors?

This seems to be them in 1911:

WOLFENDEN HILDA F 1909 2 Ulverston Lancashire
WOLFENDEN MAGGIE F 1909 2 Ulverston Lancashire
WOLFENDEN ISABELLA F 1882 29 Ulverston Lancashire

Specified birth as Ulverston, interestingly Harry has now turned up!

WOLFENDEN HARRY M 1907 4 Ulverston Lancashire

Looking at these for births, though if twins as I assume, I would have thought they would have the same ref.? Maybe someone else knows better?

EDIT Looking at original, I think Margaret's says 709.

Jan

Births Sep 1908 (>99%)
Wolfenden Elizabeth Hilda Ulverston 8e 709
Wolfenden Margaret Josephine Ulverston 8e 700

Plus Harry I suspect:

Births Sep 1906
Wolfenden George Henry Ulverston 8e 770
