Twins, with different birthdays, do you know any?

I know lots of twins with the same birthday.
I think it would be great if they had separate birthdays, born before and after midnight.
Do you know any? wonder how rare it is?

I was at secondary school with identical twins born at 11.35pm & 11.55pm on 31st Aug. Their triplet brother was born at 12.25am on 1st September. They were put into seperate years at school so their brother was a year below us. A lot of us didn't know they were triplets until their brother started at school as they had been treated as twins & a single all their lives.

My grandsons are born a day apart. One was just before midnight by natural birth and the second one after midnight by caesarean. 27th and 28th February 2018!

I don't know if any but there was once a story in the newspaper where one was born on31st August and one on 1st September and the local authority was trying to stick to the rules and put them in separate school years.

My aunt had a home birth with twins on new year's eve. The time was never properly recorded for the second one but the first arrived at 11:49 pm and my aunt reckons the second was after midnight but isn't entirely sure. Both are recorded as being born on NYE 1998 for simplicity.

I do wonder if, had it been a year later, she'd have recorded the second one as being after midnight just for the novelty of having twins in different millenniums.
