The Collings Family - Tanzania

[langton1798]

I am looking to find information about the Collings family who moved to Tanzania.

Can anyone give any advice, please?  Many thanks

Moved from where & when?

[langton1798]

Thanks for your response.

The last definite record I have of the family is 06/04/1955 arriving in the UK from Dar Es Salaan.

I am particularly looking for info about Harry Collings c.1914 and his Daughter.

They have given as their future residence Tanzanyika/England & expected stay was 5/6 months.

There was a possible death for Harry in the 1960's but that has been eliminated and there is no trace of Stephanie in the UK so I am assuming that they went overseas again.

As the daughter is possibly still alive you will have to remove her name from your post.  Rootschat does not allow us to post details for anyone who is probably alive

Was Harry born in Liverpool - MMN Rigby ?

[langton1798]

Yes, Harry was born in Liverpool mmn Rigby.

Are you able to assist me?

Do you know the last year Harry lived in Liverpool and any possible address / area ? and if he married in Liverpool - his wifes maiden name - might possibly know the wifes family name if they are in South Liverpool...
