The certificate isn't going to tell you much though, is it. If they really were brother and sister, then one of them would have to lie about their father.

It would seem a very strange thing to do - they
MUST have known it was illegal and therefore the certificate wasn't worth the paper it was written on. One explanation is some kind of scam to get Army pay allowances for the "wife" and children.

Another explanation is that they are not brother and sister - baptisms?

YET ANOTHER, lol, is that one or other of them is someone else pretending to be them. We had an example of this recently, didn't we, where someone in the army ran off with another woman and she pretended to be the first wife, so that she and her children got army allowances. That doesn't quite work here, but may be something along those lines?
