I have been digging around on this, but nothing yet, 2 headed babies
must have been rare...

I did find this, and it could be totally unrelated but thought you
might like to hang onto it just incase, it lists that there is a photo
graph in an album of a two headed baby. Don't know if there is more
info on where the baby came from
