Hi
I am trying to find info on the following family who were in the walsall workhouse when the 1901 census was taken. They are: Thomas Collins b abt 1856, Sidney Collins b abt 1891,Henry Collins b abt 1893, Louisa Collins b abt 1895 and frederick Collins b abt 1897. I am trying to establish if Sidney was my grandfather and have very little info on him. If any of the above appear on your tree please let me know. Thanks
Julie

Good luck,

Why do you think this might be the correct family?
Have you got Sidney's marriage certificate which will give the name of his Father?
Thanks

Thanks for suggestion but yes I have searched trees for all of the individual family members and have had no luck. Very difficult tracing them on the 1911 census too as it seems they split up and the father i think died before 1911.
