Hello,
I'm tracing my Collins family from Tottenham
George Collins born 1838 married Emma Fuller in 1869

They lived in Moselle street and Whitehall street

Does anyone have any more names and dates going further back please

Thank you

Good morning Simon. Welcome to the boards.

If you can give us a wee bit information on what you have and tell us where your "blanks" are, we can perhaps help you. There is no point to us "finding" what you already have. Give us some names and dates please and let us know if you wish to work forward or back from them.

Loads of Collins families in Tottenham on census records. When did your family live in the streets you have named please?

Hi
Thanks for the reply
My great , great grandfather George Collins was born in 1838 and he married Emma Fuller in 1869

I want to work backwards from them please

Thank you
Simon

Would like to go further back

I think Joseph Collins was born in 1806 and married Matilda Barber in 1834/5

I had this info given to me many many years ago but don't know if it's correct ...?

Maybe?

I would be very grateful if we can go even further back

Thank you

I think they were from Enfield .....

Joseph is consistent on the census records giving his birthplace as Tottenham but I don't see a baptism records for him.

Looks like they married in Matilda's parish as she gives her birthplace as Hackney on some of the census records.

If anyone finds records of Joseph Collins and Sarah Maria's marriage ( 1802 ) ??
please let me know
Think her maiden name was Cock

Is this the Joseph that you think may be your Joseph's father please?

Without a paper trail, there's no certainty unless your Joseph was the informant on the death registration of the above Joseph.
