Hello, looking for anyone who may have knowledge of Robert and Margaret Rebecca Collins (nee Bradley). In 1903 they were residing at 24 Sainsbury Road, Gypsy Hill, London at the same time as the birth of their son Edward Reginald Collins.
Grateful for any help, thanks- Quentin

What exactly are you looking for?

They married in 1890. Have you found them in 1891, 1901 and 1911?

My father was Edward Reginald Collins, Robert and Margarets son however I never new of, nor did I ever meet Robert or Margaret. It would be interesting to know why? Unless they had other children or for that matter grandchildren who knew or knew of them, I'll probably never find out.
Who are you and what's your interest in them?

Quentin - Rose has no connection with your family; as it's highly unlikely that anyone who knew your grandparents will stumble across this post, she was trying to help you find names of people who might.

By tracing your grandparents on available census, we may be able to identify your father's siblings, if any, and then your cousins.

Rather than repeat searches you have made your self, have you found them on on the census after their marriage?

Use the search all member trees on this site to see if anyone has them listed. If there is a listing, send the tree owner a message as they may be related
