A man and woman found dead at the White Cliffs of Dover on New Year's Day were twins, police have said.
Although the two have not yet been formally identified, police believe they were aged 59 and from the Elton area of Cheshire.
Their bodies were found at Langdon Cliffs, part of the famous White Cliffs, and their deaths are not being treated as suspicious.
Detective Sergeant Stuart Ward said police had established that the man and woman were in London on 22 December and in Dover on Boxing Day, but are keen to find out if they were staying in the town.
He added: "We have already contacted local hotels but are now asking owners of guesthouses, bed and breakfasts and pubs to contact us if they had a man and woman in their late 50s from Cheshire staying over the Christmas and New Year period."
Police also want to hear from anyone who saw the two, who were wearing dark-coloured wet weather clothing, at the top of the cliffs between Boxing Day and 1 January when they were found.
Anyone who can help should call Kent Police on 101, quoting reference number 01-0980.
Another man's body was also found at the bottom of the cliffs on 1 January, although his death was unrelated to the twins' deaths.
He has been formally identified as a 45-year-old from Manchester.
His death is also not being treated as suspicious and his family have been informed.
