'COLLINS' FAMILY in Waterford after 1881
« on: Saturday 24 March 07 17:35 GMT (UK) »
Seeking information regarding ALFRED ALEXANDER COLLINS (b1847) his wife ANN (nee PHELAN b c1846) and son GEORGE HENRY COLLINS.
They left Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, England sometime after 1881 and settled in Waterford. Despite being an Upholsterer and Cabinetmaker by trade, I understand Alfred opened a general store in Waterford.
I would like to know when ALFRED and ANN died and it would be a bonus to ascertain where they are buried. Is there anyone with access to death records who would help me, please?

GEORGE HENRY COLLINS (b1873) meanwhile married twice. I do not know who his first wife was and whether they had children. He then married MARY HORON in 1905 and had four children.

Any information and help will be very gratefully received.

Fliss :-)

I had a look at my copy of gravestone inscriptions for Ballybricken and Ballygunner graveyards, and they were not buried there. You could write to waterford city hall, the mall waterford city and ask them to seach the records for st. otterans graveyard, as they might be buried there.

Thank you!
Actually you might be able to help.... there is a family grave in the cemetery atttached to The Church of the Holy Trinity Without in Ballybricken. It contains burials of those with the surnames of COLLINS and BREEN. I do not know exactly who's buried in it, or when. Might the records you have list them?

Folowing your advice I have written to various people within Waterford (archives etc) in the hope someone will be able to help! So far, no luck!
