	Maybe whoever registered the death got the DOB wrong. perhaps it would be worth sending for the twin´s birth cert which should have exactly the info you are looking for.

	was the birth cert you received a handwritten modern copy or a photocopy of the original? It may be worth a phone call to the GRO to check explaining the date of birth does not match the registration qtr and asking them to check

	LancsAnn has good advice, but I'd try the local register office first, cos it is from them that the birth records come. The GRO only have as good as they are provided from the local register office. Tell them you have already paid for a certificate and just want to check if there is a time of birth that should be there. Offcially they shouldn't tell you, but most will when they know you have already paid for a certificate. Squint at that birth cert again. Where it shows date of birth, are you absolutely sure there isn't some squiggle that you can't quite read that might be the time of birth.
