More about Pattern Making here: http://www.apprenticesearch(.)com/fptrades/Pattern.asp (remove brackets) John Timmis is a Pattern Maker on the 1901 census as well. Cheers, Horatia

From Staffordshire BMD: http://www.staffordshirebmd.org.uk/ Staffordshire Birth indexes for the years: 1883 Surname Forename(s) / Sub-District / Registers At / Reference TIMMIS Alice Maud M / Audley / Newcastle-Under-Lyme / AUD/32/282 TIMMIS Arthur Ernest / Audley / Newcastle-Under-Lyme / AUD/31/381 Maybe she was a twin?

It looks as though Arthur Timmis died in 1888. You might find it interesting to search the Staffordshire BMD, at the link I gave you earlier. I searched for deaths with the surname Timmis from 1884-1888, and there were 11, which seems like an awful lot.

thats realy interesting mary my dad was a twin so it could be possible and my grandad john was married before and they had 2 sets of twins my dads twin died aged 5 months many thanks again will research futher angie x

Sorry, I nudged this thread by mistake. The research continues on the Frances Alice Timmis thread.
