Hello all, i cannot go into depth due to ver sad family issues including the passing of my wife Caroline. I may come back at some other time.

However,
In brief...
The History of the Collingwoods mainly can be traced back to Durham and the shipping industry. Many became wealthy as shipwrights, master mariners ship owners for trading the Guine a coast as slavers. Their were a whole host of them as property and land owners,or agriculture farming.
Well i have began researching the High Sheriffs of Northumberand, there were 16 in total  from the Collingwood line ie   1761: Alexander Collingwood of Unthank Hall.

Well worth researching along these lines. After the Civil War, depending on their loyalty, many left Durham and spread to London and abroad keeping to their trusted trades, usually in high positions. Many feared prosecution from Cromwell and fled.


Also worth researching is The Od Bailley online archives.
