<title>Charles E DIGHTON 1826 - 1916 rector Mitcheldean (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks once again slowhands <br />
I wonder if William Collins had any children living in the Mitcheldean area ? <br />
Can see like you no connection with the Rector who buried him but interesting to see that the Rector Charles Dighton had family connections<br />
With Robert Raikes</p>

<title>William  COLLINS 1793 - 1859 (reply)</title>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Thanks slowhands for your reply <br />
He was an MP for Warwick from 1837 to 1859 but how he came to be buried in Mitcheldean is a bit of a mystery I haven't seen his name mentioned in any old Forest industries of any kind, <br />
Maybe his wife had some connection with Mitcheldean or even the Rector of Mitcheldean at the time of his death,</p>
