Hi Nicola,

If the couple were born in Whitchurch, you may be out of luck.  The registers for the parish only date back to 1605 and there are gaps in the baptism register up to 1623.

Baptisms recorded with the surname Collins in Whitchurch and where the father is named Nicholas (mother's name not often recorded  :( ):

Nicholas 8 Nov 1618
Rumboll 4 Feb 1630

Maybe Elizabeth in 1625 - no father's name shown, but she could be his.
