From what you say, it sounds like the daughter with three Apple IDs is 12 or under, and that this is where your main problem lies. I have never been able to find an answer to the question of how do you delete the Apple ID of a child 12 or under. I have posted what I have come to think the solution is a number of times, asking the poster to let me know one way or another is my possible solution works. I am doing the same thing now. Please let me know. Here is the possible solution.


Since you are talking about a child in the context of Family Sharing, see Family Privacy Disclosure for Children https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/en-ww/parent-disclosure/. Toward the end of this document you see: this heading Access, Correction and Deletion. Here is a quote from it.

 

"If at any time you want to access, correct or delete data associated with Family Sharing or your child's Apple ID, please contact us here: www.apple.com/privacy/contact/."

Thanks for the information, based on which I believe you will need to contact Apple support for help. This is because you cannot remove a Childs account from family sharing without adding it to another family sharing set up. This is done to avoid the possibility of a minor getting an account of their own without parental control. You can contact support using the link below:

Thank You for your assistance. My oldest daughter set up her own account I have checked as well as a Apple CS and it has the correct DOB. For my youngest one when we set up her phone I kept getting error messages, but the system was still updating the accounts. So now we have three Apple IDs but she only uses one. This is causing a issue because we have iCloud Sharing.
