Im not related just trying to point you to find marriages etc. Did you mother marry in 1957 to Roy J Orvington? Try Teesvalleyindexes which is free to search Was Ann born 1944 ref HF60192 Hartlepool Is Barney Bernard born 1944 ref HO60191 Hartlepool. These are from Teesvalleyindexes. Ask someone with the full Ancestry index to check to see if the "twins" have the same mothers maiden name

	You have Cliff's birth as 15th Sept 1928, and there are 3 children before him on your list. Is this his correct position in the family ? I can not find a marriage between Joseph Harris and Sarah Welsh, anywhere. You might have to get a birth certificate of one of their children to see if these name were 1st names or middle name. That way we will know exactly who we are looking for. Is there any chance that Sarah had been married before and therefore married Joe under a different name ?
