Are the archangels Gabriel and Michael twins?
No, both Gabriel and Michael are Archangels that were created directly by God and never had a mother or family of any sort. They may be considered twins at least in one respect- Michael stands at the Right Hand of God, while Gabriel is at the Left Hand of God. Here is a pertinent quote from the Jewish Encyclopedia that helps to explain the connection between Michael and Gabriel:
In other passages seven archangels are mentioned, among them Gabriel (Tobit 7:15, and elsewhere). But he is most often mentioned together with Michael, whom he follows in rank. A Gnostic gem bears the inscription in Greek: "Michael the highest, Gabriel the mightiest". The three angels that appeared to Abraham (Genesis 18) were Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael; Michael, as the greatest, walked in the middle, with Gabriel to his right and Raphael to his left (Yoma 37a). Michael stands at the right hand of God, Gabriel at His left. Throughout Jewish literature Michael appears as an angel of a higher degree,
Interestingly enough. Michael and Gabriel are polar opposites when it comes to the 4 Elements of the material world. Here is the understanding listed below:
Michael: Archangel of Fire and the South, seated at the right hand of God
Gabriel: Archangel of Water and the West, seated at the left hand of God

Archangel Uriel controls what day of the week?
I suppose it depends on your beliefs. The Bible never mentions an Archangel Uriel. As far as I know he is mentioned in the Gnostic book of Enoch, which has never been accepted as scripture. There IS a propghesy of Enoch's mentioned in the Bible, in Jude 14, saying that the Lord would return with ten thousands of His saints, but nothing else mentioned, and there is no reason to accept this as being the same as the gnostic book attributed to Enoch. In case you don't know, 'gnostic' refers to hidden knowledge, knowledge some claim to receive that is outside of the Bible.
Where do you find archangel Chamuel in the Bible?
According to the Bible there are seven archangels, although the name is mentioned only three: Miguel or Michael in English, Gabriel and Raphael. The names of the four archangels in the Bible does not appear, but they are mentioned in the apocryphal texts and the rabbinical literature. Chamuel or Camael is one of the 7 archangels and the leader of the choir master.
Another answer:The word "archangel" appears only twice in the Bible (1 Thessalonians 4:16 and Jude 1:9); the second reference identifies him as Michael. No other angel is said to be an archangel, and the name "Chamuel" is not in the Bible. "Archangel" means chief angel, (or PRINCIPAL angel), meaning there is only one. Scripturally, it is never found in the plural.What was St. Michael the Archangel's vocation?
