Looking for Collier Family

[Gregc]

My name is Greg Collier and I live in Australia.  I am trying to find the Collier family.
my GGGF is Alfred Collier born 1855 in Salford, his father was John Collier born abt 1830.  Alfred married Elizabeth Ambrose, daughter of John Ambrose.
my GGF is John Alfred Collier born in 1880, Salford and he married Susan Gwilliam, daughter of William Gwilliam.  John and Susan moved to Australia around 1911.
my GF is John Alfred Collier born 1905, Manchester.  He married Alma Cullen in Australia.
my Father is Frederick Collier born 1933, NSW, Australia and he married Elizabeth Lang.

Hello Greg,
Welcome to RootsChat

What kind of information are you looking for -would you like your ancestors looking up on the census returns

British census go from 1841-1901

Or would you like birth/marriage registrations?
