Family Of James collins (General)
by JulieB, Thursday, March 13, 2025, 22:59 (28 days ago)
Hello i am trying to trace my Great Grandfather James Collins (1879 -1916) , who was born i the Forest of Dean. He married my Great Grandmother Adeline Larner(1883-1960) in 1901.
I have his father listed as James Cillins to with rough dates of (1851-1893) My Mum can't remember Grandfather as he died when her Mum was only 4 years old.
would love to be able to find some information to fill in the blanks for my Mum.
with hopeful thanks Julie.

Wow thank you. I had some of the information but you have given me a few pointers on where to look next. Mum said last night she thought they were Travelling/Gypsy people.
Thanks so much
