There is also this advertisement in 1787 that may be your Abraham

"TAKEN UP
A small GREYHOUND female female dog
Whoever will own the same by its Marks, and pay the necessary Expenses, may have it again, by applying to Abraham Collier, at the Wheat Sheaf, Red Bank, Manchester. If not owned in a Fortnight's Time, it will be sold to defray the same."
Mancester Mercury, Tuesday,  June 5, 1787

Great stuff! A lost (female) dog! It helps locate Abraham in Manchester in 1787.

Cheers

Great information, thanks. It all helps build a stronger picture of the ancestor I'm chasing.

Kay99,

Thank you for the information. I've seen Charles and Mary in the 1841 census, but have yet to find a record of Robert's birth. I'll keep looking.

Cheers

Lancashire / Information on Charles Collier bap. 1774 Manchester Cathedral
« on: Friday 14 February 20 05:32 GMT (UK)  »
I'm looking for information on Charles Collier bap. 16 October 1774 in Manchester Cathedral, parents Abraham and Mary Collier. A trade directory in 1800 lists Charles living with his parents in Red Bank, occupation hatter. However, I have no other information on Charles - marriage, children, or later life.

The 1841 census lists a Chas Collier living in Stockport, but I'm stumped as to whether this is Charles bap. 1774.

Any help would be most welcome.

Thank you

James

More on your responses - and thank you for being so thorough and prompt.

The marriage of Charles Collier and Amelia Lewin in 1914 is a great story - she was 18 and pregnant and he was 57 and about to enlist in WW1.  They went on to have three children. Amelia remarried after Charles Collier's death and appears to have led a long and interesting life.

Cheers

I'm not aware that LCAC Collier and Margaret Hammond had any children, but I've yet to complete a detailed search.

Cheers
