Hi Rosemary, No idea how old but I have found a Cecelia Collins who was 18 in the 1901 cenus, born in Belfast, Ireland. All I know is that her and Dan(iel) Connolly had 7 children on of which was Alice Connolly born on 4th April 1903 and she was one of the oldest. Thanks Rosemary.

Hi Debbie, Thanks ever so much, I really am touched how people help you out on this site. All I know is that my G.Grandparents were called Cecelia Collins and Red Dan Connolly (had red hair) so I presume he was a Dan(iel). They had 7/8 children and I have the d.o.b for one of them Alice Connolly who was born on 4th April 1903, I think that she was onew of the oldest children, Geraldine Connolly (my Grandma) who was an ambulance driver in the war was the youngest and we think born around 1917, died in 1981??? I'm afraid that's all I have for now Thanks again. Emma

Hi Zoe, Thanks for looking but I think that 56 is too old for her. One of her daughters was born in 1903, Alice Connolly and she was one of the oldest. Thanks anyway. Emma

Could someone look up in the 1891 cenus for a Cecelia Collins and a Dan(iel) Connolly who I think came from Ireland. They are my g.grandparents and i am trying to trace my family back to the famous Michael Collins who is believed to be a relation of Cecelia Collins. They were married and had 8 children. Thanks
