I don't think its the right family.

I decided to follow them forward
to 1891 and found John Collins still in the house, but our John was already married and in the census somewhere else.

I think this is the nephew Denis with his parents in Merthyr T Glamorgan in the 1891 census.

If you guys ever feel like gambling €4 then I would hazard a guess that this is the death of John Collins.

For the story of Lena to not have really known her father as he died when she was so young then this appears to be the best match based on closeness to 1911, his year of birth, and his place of death.

Again though it would be a gamble !

HOLD ONTO YOUR SOCKS

I THINK I have John and his parent's & siblings.

Now WARNING 'tis still early days and will take some work BUT I'm feeling positive !

So, to start with John ~

My instinct is that his parent's were called Denis Collins & Mary Hurley

So, I shall post everything and then I can work on it to see if I'm correct.

So, John's baptism b 1859
