I actually got copies of newspaper cuttings and his burial notice from the Brighton Family History Library. Frederick had a son Frederick Poste Collins, and the two of them had a pub in the Kings Arches of Brighton called "Welcome Fellows". Frederick Jnr also had a photography shop in the arches and took pics of tourists. Pls let me have your email address as I have lots more info on the Collins family and their ancestors. My email is [email protected] Kind regards JOAN
