I've gone as far as I can in the English records and have finally found the link with Ireland in my Collins line.
William Collins Born 1766 and Sarah Collins Born 1776 hail from County Cork, Ireland according to our family lore.
Does anyone out there have a connection with them ?
They had a son PHILIP who married ANN and their children were
FREDERICK PHILIP COLLINS (Capt Fred Collins of Skylark fame)
EDWARD WILLIAM COLLINS
SARAH ANN COLLINS
The son of Edward William Collins was
WILLIAM HENRY COLLINS married to ELLEN HARMAN
their children were
EDWARD THOMAS COLLINS
SARAH CATHERINE COLLINS
VICTOR GEORGE COLLINS
LAWRENCE COLLINS
DAISY COLLINS
REGINALD COLLINS
DOROTHY COLLINS

Any information on the Irish family would be wonderful

Thanks
