Hi
Can anyone help me trace my ggrandmother Mary Rose Ella Collins nee Long.I know she married Fred Charles Collins in Bristol in 1885 and gave birth to my grandmother Hilda in 1886 who was then brought up by Marys parents Alice and George Long. I,ve managed to trace Alice,George and Hilda up until Hildas death in 1931( aged 45) but I dont know what happened to Mary and Fred,I think they may have had more children.Please can someone point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
Sally

Hi
Many thanks for your help and so quick!!!
Yes I think thats Fred and Mary in 1901.Its sad to think that their first born Hilda spent her life with her grandparents and not her parents and siblings-I guess we will never know why!!!!.
All the best
Sally
