Hi,
you have been recommended by Jill, the person above me. She told me to check you out since we're both looking for Collyers from Melbourne. My family roots are from Melbourne. I'm curious since I saw in one post here that James Collyer is a Shoemaker/cordwainer. My possible great great grandfather is John Collyer and in the 1871 census he was a cordwainer at the age of 43 in Kings Newton, Derbyshire.
In the 1861 census he was 33, a shoe maker in Kings Newton Melbourne Derby.

Now, John Collyer's father is Samuel Collyer a shoemaker. If your James Collyer's father is also Samuel Collyer, then James and John might be brothers. There is no James listed in the census that the people here gave me so I thought that maybe he was a lot younger than John. Though, that was only the 1841 census where Samuel was only 33 and only three children were listed, Elizabeth 15, John 13 and Mary 10. There might be a connection. I haven't seen the later censuses about Samuel Collyer and his wife.

Hi, John Collyer is in my tree, he was my grandfather's grandfather. Born 1828, died 26th November 1895, buried in Melbourne cemetery, though unmarked apart from a sturdy bush, with an identical bush on his wife Elizabeth ( Nee Snow)'s ajacent plot. I haven't been able to connect James Collyer to the tree, but there were two strands of Collyers, both were shoe factory owners.
John Collyer had a son John, who died in 1879 aged only 29, my Grandfather told me that he died after injuring his back whist skating on Melbourne pool. John's two other sons, Thomas (my G Grandfather) and Samuel were too young to continue the shoe making business, and both became market gardeners.

Yes yes, John Collyer's wife was Elizabeth Snow. He is my great great grand father. Thomas Snow Collyer is also my Great Grand father. So we are related. My grandfather is Robert William Collyer. He could've been a brotherr of your grandfather. Who is your grandfather by the way? I'm finding this interesting that I found a relative from the same great grand father.

Sorry, I read this message after I sent you a reply to the PM.

I knew Bob Collyer quite well, he was my Dad's cousin,
Thomas Snow was brother my grandfather, Maurice, born 1902, I met Thomas snow when I quite young, and his wife, Ethel.

Right, so you and my dad would be second cousins? I'm 18 now and I never met my grandparents from my dad's side. I also happen to live in another country that's why I never met them. By the way, do you know Ethel's former last name? before she married.
