Going through the censuses and Parish records for Desborough has revealed what seems to be an unusual number of families with twins. These are the children that I have come across so far that I believe to be twins, but bear in mind that some of these may be errors (eg in recording or reading ages).
Click on the individual links to see whether the source stated that they were twins (rare). If it does not then the "twinship" is my deduction based on the available data so far.
73 sets of twins found so far (arranged alphabetically by family name).
