A possible death entry,

Dec 1938

Johanna COLLINS age 76  Deptford  1d  796

This age fits if she was born in 1862.

Also a rough search of the 1911 Census shows Daniel and Johanna with possibly 6 of their children still at home. On here Johanna's age is shown as 46 (born 1865) but as usual all such dates should be given an error margin.

The 1901 Census shows another child, Michael, born 1900. FreBMD shows he died in 1902 (aged 2). So that's 7 children, of course there may well have been another between Patrick and David (1888-1891).

Croptop, have you looked on Ancestry at the Immigration records? I see that there were certainly several Daniel and Johanna Collins coming from America but my subscription won't tell me the dates. If there are it might have the cousins name as well.

trish1120 - Well I never, another assumption blasted out of the water!
I'll have to extend my date range for all those "Good Irish Catholic" marriages that I couldn't find.
Thanks!

Hi Hammerman

As I am trying to learn, can you tell me where you found this entry? It sounds a perfect match to me, but I cannot find it myself and would like to see how you found it please?

I can confirm that Michael did indeed die at a young age, from trying to drink direct from a kettle or teapot. Johanna took him on the bus to hospital (an expensive trip for her) but he was either DOA or died shortly afterwards.  I can remember my grandfather John b1893 frequently telling me and my sister off if we went anywhere near the teapot or kettle; obviously this event was a strong one from his childhood memory of his younger brother dying by a tragic accident.

I will indeeed try my Ancestry subscription.

...

1911 census???
I didn't think that the 1911 census would be available until 2012 - 100year rule of secrecy and all that... Where is it then?

As madpants says, the 1911 census is available now.  To see the images you have to subscribe or buy credits, roughly £3.50 to see the original page. Your local library might sell the vouchers for the credits. It's been released early with certain sensitive imformation hidden. It's fairly easy to do a rough search if you known cerain details.

If you click on the "Search the 1911 census" tag at the top left of the page.
Scroll down to the "Show advanced fields" button and press.
You have to fill in one of the first two areas, either 'First names' or 'Last name'.  So put 'COLLINS' in the last name part.

You can fill in anything else you know for certain but in this case scroll down to the 'Other members of the household' area. By putting 'Daniel and Johanna' in the 'First names' box here it will search for all COLLINS households with a Daniel and Johanna living there.

Press search and it finds 12 people, obviously the Greenwich ones are your faMILY

Of course, any mistakes with spelling COLLINS, Daniel or Johanna will result in failure so be aware of possible mistakes on your ancestors or transcribers part. Luckily all spelt right in this case.

As for the death entry. On Ancestry you can check the GRO death entries that haven't yet been transcribed by FreeBMD. You need to check the four quarters for each year. Luckily I found the entry in 1938 and as you say it looks like the perfect match, but there may be others after this I didn't check, so don't take anything as correct until you check it and get the certificate!

FreeBMD are indexing the other indexes now, they add more every month. I suspect the 1937/1938  will be added in the next few months as they are already entering 1936.
