Phoebe Ashley b 1838 married William Collier 6 Apr 1856 in Chelsea.
She had 4 sons Thomas Christopher 1858 Oxford Edward Joseph Ashley Collier 1860 Wandsworth
William Robert Collier 1867 died 1876 John Samuel Collier 1870 Oxford
William Collier died 2nd Q 1871 age 45. Phoebe remarried before the 1891 to William Phillips
I have tried to find the spouses and the children of Thomas, Edward & John with some success(?)
I think that Thomas married Mary Martha Bailey.Children Emily, Florence,Hubert, John
Edward married Elizabeth Ford children Winifred, Beatrice, Alfred, Herbert, Wilfred, Percy
Still looking for John Samuel spouse & children
IF there was an 'Ellen' Collier then she should be a child of one of these.
Thanks again everyone for all your help. David
