As an aside here, when this thread started I decided to check my database for multiple births. Out of nearly 11,000 names, I found only 26 pairs of twins and one set of triplets. That seems rather low to me.
Similar to mine - I have 8,000 names, 18 sets of 19century twins. Of course, there may be others I haven't marked with child status.
