What happened here?

Gloucester Journal, 17th August 1912

Whoever the informant was, they must not have understood the regulations becaue all four births were registered as well as the deaths.

Robinson Burials:

Cissie lived for 5 minutes, Charity lived 1 day and Hope lived for 4 days and all three were buried on 6th August 1912.  Faith lived for 7 days and was buried on 9th August 1912.

So Cissie was born alive, and took at least a few breaths after birth. So she could legally be declared live.

My understanding is that many a midwife swore that a baby took 2 breaths after birth, so that the child could be buried inside the church yard with a record of the death, and not just "discarded".
