Hi Collette,

There is also a Collinstown in North Dublin....where Dublin Airport is now......I believe that it may have been called Collinstown aerodrome at one time.

Colette and Joe,
  Thank you so much for your help!!  I'm trying to find anything at all possible. I'm looking for an ancestor who was supposedly born March 8, 1839 in Collins Town, Addman Church,  (not sure of the county), Ireland. I'm just trying to find anything possible.
Thanks again!!!

Hi April,
There seem to be a few Collinstown (no Collins Town)  - please see this site
http://www.thecore.com/seanruad
you can do a search and get a list - not sure about the church though.
What you might do is search your ancestor's surname on this site:
www.failteromhat.com
under Griffiths Valuation - taken around 1850 in Ireland. You might be able to match up with the Collinstown above.
best wishes
Heywood
