maybe the 3rd was still born - different register when was Eileen born? died before or after birth of triplets?

I'm unsure of the exact date, but she died before my Grandmother was born, so I would say around 1914.

I have found the birth for the two you mention mmn Green but not a third . Its possible the child was stillborn. Have you tried local papers a triblet birth would have been reported Bournemouth Evening Echo. Sue

Hi, My Grandmother was one of a triplet. Her name is Kathleen Betty Bream and her sister is Pamela Joan Bream. They were born 12/03/1920 in Christchurch, Dorset. Unfortunately the third sibling died, but I can find no trace of them (I do not know what gender they were). Can anybody help? Also, they had an older sister called Eileen Bream who died when she was 6. I can find no trace of her either. Their parents are Allan Gilbert Bream and Marian Bream (who were married in 1913) Any help greatfully appreciated! Claire

what was mothers maiden name please

Looking at the marriage MMn was Green

With regards to Eileen - I have just found: Name: Marion K E Bream Year of Registration: 1913 Quarter of Registration: Jul-Aug-Sep Mother's Maiden Name: Green District: Christchurch (1837-1919) County: Hampshire Volume: 2b Page: 1195 (click to see others on page) The family regularly used middle names instead of first names (My Grandmother is known as Betty and her sister was known as Joan). I believe that this may be Eileen but cannot find a record of her death. Thanks Claire

P.S. The mothers maiden name was Green!

Could somebody possibly look up the births of Pamela and Kathleen for me and see if there was anothe Bream mentioned on the same sheet?

Claire I have looked there are ony Pamela and Kathleen message me if you would like the image Sue Update There is no death registered for a ? Bream in Christchurch in 1920 at a guess it looks as though the third child was stillborn.

Thankyou so much for your help. Would the death have been logged anywhere?

Hi Claire, there is a seperate register for stillbirths, it is only accessible by I believe the parents, I could be wrong, but I do know access is restricted. And as Sue said, the register was not started until 1927.

So would a stillborn death not be recorded anywhere at all? Also, can anybody find a record of the death for Marion Bream born 1913? I believe she was buried in Boscombe Cemetery.

Im not certain but I do not think a stillbirth needed to be registered until 1927. Even then only next of kin are able to apply the certificate. If you type stillbirth in the search box above you will find several threads Sue
