Collins in Cork

[taramcdsmall]

Sorry,

Just one last question that you didn't get back to me on . . .

Can Lena's daughter remember who ANY of her Collins aunts or uncles married ?

This would be the easiest way to resolve this !

I wonder was there a common 'exodus' of Collins' from Dunmanway to Wales ?

yes they were clearing out in their thousands during and after the famine.

I just read a book on it. Cried buckets. Shocking!!
Had to stop reading it I was getting so angry with the authorities and landowners who sat back and watched it unfold.
In fact I got way past angry- into rage.

Thanks for links to other threads. I have had a look.

Re questions - she can't tell me any more. She doesn't know about the others in the family.
Frustrating but there it is!

Hi Everyone who has helped with this..

It has been confirmed that is the right family

Further families memories have been awakened, which have confirmed the birth date of Lena as 1/1/1903.

Great job everyone!!

Yippeeeeee

Listen, let us know if the family want to go back further.

The start would be to get the marriage of John & Ellen.

We can also work on Daniel too !

Oh, let us know if you get the baptism  for Denis !

His Mum's name on it will help to track down his parent's marriage in Ireland.
