At the end of my last post, I mentioned that I had no idea that Alexander Ritchie BUCHAN had a brother called John.
I did a ‘parent search’ on familysearch.org for Alex’s parents, Charles and Jessie (nee RITCHIE) and up he popped! While checking the information, I noticed that his birth date was identical to brother William’s but perhaps this was confused with a christening date (children were sometimes baptised in ‘bunches’).
I managed to download the birth entry on Scotlands People and sure enough, John and William were twins!
Anyone else found twins in their families? I think this was the first instance I’ve come across.
