Since the hanging of George Collingwood-1716 at Liverpool for his part in the Jacobite Rebellion, it is known that this halted the line of Collingwoods that served as High Sheriffs of Northumberland for at least two generations. In the meantime (as was the case after Cromwell's Civil War) many Royalists fled for fear of retribution and confiscation of land and farms, Relatives with the surname of Collingwood fled fom Durham and Northumberland and emerged in Port Areas of many cities including London. The emergence of Alexander Collingwood of Unthank Hall shows t

hey were not unduly on Britain's wanted list. It took time but they came back from the stigma of great uncle George who incidentally was one of only four conspirators to be Hung Drawn and Quartered.

Hello all, i cannot go into depth due to ver sad family issues including the passing of my wife Caroline. I may come back at some other time.

However,
In brief...
The History of the Collingwoods mainly can be traced back to Durham and the shipping industry. Many became wealthy as shipwrights, master mariners ship owners for trading the Guine a coast as slavers. Their were a whole host of them as property and land owners,or agriculture farming.
Well i have began researching the High Sheriffs of Northumberand, there were 16 in total  from the Collingwood line ie   1761: Alexander Collingwood of Unthank Hall.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Sheriff_of_Northumberland

Well worth researching along these lines. After the Civil War, depending on their loyalty, many left Durham and spread to London and abroad keeping to their trusted trades, usually in high positions. Many feared prosecution from Cromwell and fled.


Also worth researching is The Od Bailley online archives.

of Eslington, co. Northumberland, Avho, led by their attach-

master- attendant of the dock-yards at Plymouth, Ports-
mouth, Chatham, and Deptford, (the first person of the name
of Collingwood whom we find mentioned in our naval annals),
sailed round the world, as midshipman, with Anson, by whom
he was ever afterwards patronised, and was master of the
Victory, first rate, flag- ship of Admiral Sir John Balchen, a
short time previous to her loss, in Oct. 1744 *.

• On the 3d Oct, 1744, the fleet under Sir John Balchen, then return-
ing home from Gibraltar, encountered a violent storm, in which several
of the ships were much shattered. On the 4th, the "Victory separated
from her consorts, and was never more heard of. It is supposed that she

and entered the royal navy, as midshipman on board the
America 64, commanded by his uncle-in-law, the late Vice-
Admiral Sir William Parker, IJart., in IJiB*; and subse-
quently served in the Pheasant sloop, Beaulieu and Alligator

ship bearing the flag of the immortal Nelson, whose death he
avenged by shooting the French rifleman who had, after re-
peated attempts, succeeded in mortally wounding that illus-
trious hero at the ever memorable battle of Trafalgar. During
that tremendous conflict, he was sent from his quarters on
the poop, where the carnage was most dreadful, with a few
men, to assist in extinguishing a fire on board the French 74-
gun ship, le Redoubtable, which service he performed in a
manner highly satisfactory to his captain, the present Sir
Thomas M. Hardy. His promotion to the rank of lieutenant
took place on the 22d Jan. 1806.

employed, in guard boats and on shore, during the occupation

to be first lieutenant of the Iris 30, in M'hich ship he con-
tinued for a period of five years.

The 'Earl Grey' was a convict ship that Edward Henry was working on to repair hull copper cladding damage to the forward bow and pump stages.

These are his actual words in giving evidence in a 'simple larceny' trial at the Old Bailey.....

JOHN WHITE. I am a constable of the dock. I was at the export dock gate when Willson stopped Bryan—I stopped Kerr—he said, "You won't want me; you want the other men that have run away"—I said, "I have got you and I shall keep you"—I searched him, and found 4lbs, of copper in the waistband of his trowsers—he said it was given him by a man in a public-house—Bryan said, "It is no use telling a lie about it; we may as well tell the truth."

EDWARD HENRY COLLINGWOOD. I am in the employ of a shipwright I was employed in taking some copper off the ship 'Earl Grey', belonging to Mr. Duncan Dunbar—I threw the copper on the punt—I can swear to all this copper, except two pieces—it came off that ship—two of these pieces in particular I can swear to, and the other I have no doubt of—they were all in the punt, which was under the ship's bow, acting as a stage for me to work at the vessel—I know this piece by my own marking on it, and this one by its acting as a brace under the pump case.

JAMES GATLOR. I am ship-keeper of the Earl Grey, and live on board I took the copper from the punt into the store, where it was kept—it belonged to Duncan Dunbar—I went to the store on the day after this copper was found, and it was all gone.
Kerr. Q. How long was the copper in the store before you missed it? A. About nine or ten days.
THOMAS PINNER. I was working for Mr. Gladstone—I went to the store shed between ten and eleven o'clock—I found the padlock broken—I told the officer—I found the prisoners in custody the same day.
