I'm trying to find out about my paternal Great grandfather who was born around 1870.. His 2nd wife was called Ada (maiden name unknown). They lived in Braintree, Essex. Harry Collins had 4 daughters from his first marriage.

If you can help please contact me.

Thank you

When and where were his daughters born?
