Arthur John baptised 18 Aug 1866, parents Thomas and Matilda. Died 1931, buried Merridale. (familysearch). May fit into the Wolverhampton Goodmans somewhere. (Just found this particular baptism on FMP and had to laugh at the father's occupation... he's the registrar of births etc. HE would know the answer to all the above!)
Thinking outside the box, have you thought that they were not twins but children of 2 different mother in the same family, born in the same quarter which is why they were not registered at the same time?
Thank you for all your replies and my apologies for not replying earlier, i have been with the police all day (@Daft Bat knows why) I will look at all your suggestions etc. tomorrow when my grey cells are not so fried
He was buried in Heath Town Church graveyard and was from Church Street Heath Town, which is unlikely given the locations in the census
