Collins in Cork

[Sinann]

Great news.
It should be possible to find more about this family, have fun and good luck and as Tara said let us know if you need help.

Actually I hadn't thought about Denis.

The census says his Mum was Elizabeth and she was born in Wales. Probably in Dowlais too.
His Dad was Daniel Collins.
I should be able to get them on Free BMD.

I have to wait another week and a half before the LDS  family centres are open again here. then 2 weeks til films arrive after that.

I am happy for you to take a look at the family but I have absolutely NO info on the generation further back.
Maybe its Moaxly/Moaksley marriage but  its just a guess.

You all probably know how the naming thing works in families, so you might be able to work out from the sons what John Collins father might have been named.

They named the first boy after the grandfather, didn't they? Trouble is they lost a couple of kids.

1911 census says they had 9 children born alive but only 7 living in 1911.

OK SO,

Here is Daniel Collins in 1904, living in Dunmanway.

The important thing with this document is that it says that he was BORN in Dunmanway, so we defo need to look for Daniel & John's baptisms in Dunmanway parish.

YIKES

Early days

BUT

Could this be Daniel and John 

We have presumed that John & Ellen ran from Cork TO Wales to get married !

COULD it actually have been the other way around IE The ran from Wales to CORK to get married ?

Hi Tara,

That is a great find because I can look for a birth for the 2 boys in those two places and also the parents marriage.

You are a real terrier at this. I am so glad that you are helping us.

The info is uploaded to a proper tree on Ancestry now. My cousin will be adding it as we find more along the way.

I see that I need to add every link I find onto the thread so everyone can click on it and see what I am talking about.
