How do I find twins?

I am looking for the birth records of twins called Albert and Alfred Jackson. I think they were born around 1920 but not certain. Would they both be on the same registration record sheet? Should I be looking for both names on the same sheet with the same mother's maiden name or doesn't it work like that? |

I have seen a brother and sister in the birth reg book with the same number |

Couldn't the page numbers be different by one, or would they start a new page rather than put the first one in the last slot on a page? |

I guess so - but I would assume the same to begin with, then if you can't find them widen the search! |

On the original local register they would have been next to each other, and possibly, as Ken says, on different pages. But, on the composite version, which is what we see, they are not next to each other as the registers are alphabetical. |
