the earliest collinsons in wolsingham

[dtcoulson]

Hello folks, a small question this time

in my study of the Collinson families in Wolsingham prior to 1820 I see that there are three distinct descent lines, one starting with a migration from Ireland 1800~1816 and the other two tracing back through Wolsingham records to the 1760s. The trail of records seems to stop fairly abruptly at that point, which could mean a number of things:

() Am I looking at the point at which all Wolsingham Parish records begin?
() Am I seeing evidence that the earliest Collinson lines migrated to this area circa 1760?

Is there a good place to find records of migration into Cty Durham in this period?
