Looking for Joyce Edna Collins nee Maughan b.1924 Sussex or her decendants, she had two children that I am aware of ..James, named after his father, and Jacqueline. Any help would be appreciated.

The marriage was in Brighton, and she is possibly still living there if you try 192.com.

Is this her husband's death?:
James Thomas Collins
Birth Date: 10 Feb 1924
Date of Registration: Oct-Nov-Dec 1980
Age at Death: 56
Registration district: Brighton
Inferred County: East Sussex
Volume: 18
Page: 0274

Have you looked to see if they are on people's trees on here?

Thanks for the info, I had the marriage but not her husbands death. I have had a pm from another member with some information which I intend to follow up and am quite excited about this. GR is fantastic for the wonderful people who are so very helpful. Very VERY much appreciated.

Could the person who sent a pm please note on here what sort of information that contained, to stop others from spending their time trying to duplicate the work?
Thank-you

The pm gave me some personal contact details which I have yet to follow up.

Thank-you, Linda.

It is just rather frustrating if helpers spend time trying to look up information, only to find that others have pm'd the poster directly with the same information, without noting it on the query.
