COLLINGS - Liskeard
« on: Monday 23 April 12 18:23 BST (UK) »
Hello,

I am trying to find information on the birth of William John Collings.  He was born around 1921 to parents Archibald and Dora (nee Docker) and we believe that he was born in Liskeard.  We have searched without success and are hoping that someone may be able to find his birth for us.

Any information would be great.

Thanks,

Claire

Thanks Isobelruss,

I've found those but can't find any trace of William.  We worked out his DOB from his age at death and he apparently said he was from Liskeard so I was hoping to find him there somewhere.

Thanks anyway for looking and coming back so quickly.

Thanks for looking.  Looks like he'll remain an enigma for a while  :(
