Hi Peter,

As I said in my PM (personal message) I am not related to you or Harry Albert Collings. If you look at some of the threads you will see that people help each other to find records....they are hardly ever related.

So opening my tree to you would be pointless. Have a look at the tips on how to use the boards and it might make things clearer to you.

Good luck with your search...

Kind regards,

Cathy

Margaret
you truly are amazing. I used to find it strange how some 'Collings' were shown as 'Collins' Could this be because of the way it was said at the time ? and transcribed to official documents by the registrars.I doubt that some of these folks could have written their own names.
