Find Ancestors

I am trying to trace Elizabeth Ann Collins born 1832 in the City of London. I believe her father was John Collins who was deceased by 1860. I don't know his proffesion. I know these are all very common names so the only ways I can see to work out which is the one I want is:

Search for marriages around 1840-1870 of Collins who have a father John Collins, who is maybe listed as deceased. He would definitely be deceased after 1860.

Look for a baptism of Elizabeth Ann Collins and see if there are any possible siblings.

If anyone could look these things up for me on Ancestry, or suggest where else I could look I'd be very grateful.

there are a number of baptisms for john collins in london area

With a name like Venables Cockerel it must be her! So she would be the right age to have Elizabeth Ann., and the 1841 census you found would fit. Is there a death for John anytime between 1830ish and 1841?

Although actually on the 1841 census the youngest child is only two, so presumably John hadn't died that long ago. Can you find Ann Venables Collins on the 1851 census - to check whether she is a widow?

That baptism looks promising. Can anyone find Ann on the 1851 census?

Or maybe even a death for Ann if she can't be found on the 1851. Or a death for John.

Can you explain Elizabeth's relationship to you? If she is a close relative you must know who she married and what children they had.

The Elizabeth Ann who married Henry Havers names her father as a Police Inspector on the Wedding registration so it isn't the same Elizabeth Ann who was the daughter of Ann Venables.

She was my great great great grandmother. She married Alfred Thomas Munt in 1860 and had five children between 1861 and 1873, two of which survived, Edwin Alfred and Frederick Henry. Someone has already looked at her marriage to Alfred Thomas for me but apparently although it says her father John is deceased, it doesn't give an occupation. That's why I thought we could look for siblings marriages as they might list their father's occupation.

Can anyone find a death for John Collins?
