Yes that's right. Have you been in touch with Anne Morris Collier.  She has a family tree done up on Ancesrty. She was a granddaughter of Bob too so would be your cousin.

Hi Jimmy
Thnak you so much for responding.
I am struggling to understand how this system works but I have responded to you on a different thread! I said in my reply that I haven't had contact with any of the Collier family other than my grandmother and mother. My grandmother was Bob's second wife (following the death of his first wife Daisy) and they just had 1 child together my mother. They parted in the 1940s so I have never had contact with my mother's half sisters - or their families. Its odd such a huge family and yet our part is tiny. As someone joked at my wedding, if the reception was my family only, I could have held it in a telephone box!!

Hi Beth.
Ann and myself was researching our family and it was through this forum that we met. She is a daughter of Mauvereen who was Bob's youngest daughter from his first marriage and we actually met a few times here in Ireland. I brought her up to Ballinkillen to the old homestead. Ther is no one living there now but there is another grandson of Richard and Kate living nearby.. Bill the original starter of this thread also came over to Ireland and I met him. He was the son of Bob's sister Elizabeth. That's been a common name down through the generations of Colliers. My personal email is removed is you want to email me or ask any questions I would be glad to answer. Where are you living.

The following is the marriage date of Thomas Collier and Margaret Tracey, 7 January, 1846;  and the the rest are baptisms of their children; 12 Mar., 1843 (illigt); 20 Jun., 1847; 14 Jul., 1850; 3x? May, 1852; 27 Aug., 1854; and 23 Mar., 1857. The sacraments were all taken in Ballinkillen, Lorum. These primary sources can be viewed on the NLI Catholic Parish Registers for Dunleckney Catholic Parish. I stopped transcribing after 1857 because the registers were unreadable, i.e., there may be more children.
There is also a marriage entry on 30 October, 1830 for Thomas Moore and Margaret Collier in Kilgraney. Kilgraney is in Lorum Civil Parish,not unlike Ballinkllin
I have no doubt that these are your peeps.
You can find these entries at Carlow IGP, Dunleckney Baptism Registers. The marriage register can be accessed at the NLI Catholic Registers, Dunleckney
