Patrick's wife and Charlotte both died (apparently) from the complications of pregnancy and child-birth.
The death order was: Bramwell, Emily, Anne and several years later from what is now believed to be severe morning sickness (if not poisoning), Charlotte.
Bramwell, Emily and Anne all died within a few months of each other.
Two daughters died in childhood, which would have been very common then.
