Jim,
James and Prudence Collins were my great grandparents so I have been piecing the Collins family genealogy together for some years now. That has included a certain amount of tracking of James' and Prudence's children forward in time. I'm interested in your information on George Treherne. I had found his death transcribed by FreeBMD in the range of Jan-Mar 1913, and his burial record for 15 Mar 1913 can be found at the Forest of Dean website. (These are in perfect agreement with your date of his suicide, 11 Mar 1913.) Both record his age as 52. The various censuses in which he appears are also consistent with this age, and his birthplace is given as Bream, Gloucestershire.
All this information fits reasonably well with a birth transcription for a George Treherne in FreeBMB in the range Jan-Mar 1860 [Newent 6a, 232] (although that's not exactly Bream!) but it could also be consistent with the birth of a George Trehern (no e) in the range Jul-Sep 1857 [Monmouth 11a, 21] (which does include Bream). Neither agrees exactly with your date of his birth, 19 Jun 1857, however.
Since you have exact dates, mother's name and cause of death, you obviously have more detailed information than I've been able to track down. Can you give me some guidance to finding it too or does it come from family records of some sort?
