William COLLINS m. Susan Agnes CAMP 1873, South Aust - COMPLETED

[yt2]

Can someone help me find a few details about my G-G-Grandfather, please.

He was William COLLINS, b. 27Feb1853 Rylands, Kapunda South Australia and I understand (but cannot confirm) that he was s/o Levi Collins (1818-1900) and Betsey England (? - ?). I do not know William Collins date of death (see later).

On 7Dec1873 at Auburn, South Australia, William married Susan Agnes CAMP, d/o John CAMP (c1819-1883) and Grace Oldridge (1822-1906). Susan was b. 5Sep1851, Gumeracha South Australia and d. 10Oct1935 in Adelaide, South Australia.

Susan later married Joseph Short on 19Jun1886 in Burra, South Australia so I presume that my G-G-Grandfather had died before then.

I'd appreciate any help you can offer.

Thanks a million.

Hi Cando ... thanks for all of that.

I have sibs as George (1844-?), Mary (1851-?), Isabella (1855-?), John (1857-?), Ann (1861-?), and Jane Eliza (1864-?), but my original source for that info was Internet-based and has since disappeared into the WWW.wilderness  

Aaah the wonders and the vagaries of the web.
