    I wonder why they refer to them by their religion, Hinduism, rather than by their nationality? Should children this young really be considered of a certain religion when they are not old enough to have experienced or read about any other religion? I think not.

    The 2nd sister died about a year after the first, also of tuberculosis.

    Sadly, this is likely Ann and Mary Church, born in London, September 1927, joined along the chest/abdomen. They died three days later.
