You are so good at this. I haven't even found Ethel Thwaites. Thanks. This would also help.

regarding this one.

I found the birth of Thomas N. Thwaites Collyer. He was born 1923 so my grandfather can't be one of them since he was born 1924. And he's not on the list. But then this one is still possible because of all the information.

Hi Burritopasta,

Using the references that Cat has given you could apply online for the certificates.  The Marriage cert could be particulary useful as it would list the fathers of both the bride and groom and their occupations.  The certificates cost £9.25 and can be ordered from outside the UK.

Thanks but as of now, I am not in the UK. And I am still a student. I highly doubt my mum would ever let me use her credit card.

Hi,

This looks like them in the 1881 census:

1881 Census:  Derby Rd., Kings Newton, Melbourne, Derbys.               RG11/3386/14
John Collyer/Mar/53/Boot & Shoe Maker/Kings Newton, Derbys.
Elizabeth Collyer/Mar/56/Boot & Shoe Maker's Wife/Kings Newton, Derbys.
Mary Collyer/Unm/24/Unemployed Housemaid/Kings Newton, Derbys.
Thomas Collyer/Unm/20/Gardners Labourer (ND)/Kings Newton, Derbys.
Samuel S. Collyer/Un/17/Gardners Labourer (ND)/Kings Newton, Derbys.
Thos. William Poxon/2/Melbourne, Derby.

So John Collyer would be born 1827/8 and his wife would be born 1824/5.

IGI (Extracted Records)
John Collier Christened 19 December 1830, Melbourne, Derbys.  Parents:  Saml. Collier & Mary.

John Collyer, son of Samuel Collyer, married Elizabeth Snow on 30 September 1849 at Melbourne, Derbys.

There is also another marriage which may mean John married twice:

John Collier married Sarah Littleford on 3 December 1843 at Melbourne.
