Looking for Michael Collins born 1939 in the Ealing/Wembley area. He had 3 brothers (Frederick, Brian and David plus a sister Janet). In 1939 they lived Harrow Road but were still in the area in the 1960s.

Yes that's the family I'm looking for. Collins is a very common name so struggling to find their marriages. I have applied for a death cert. for what I think could be the eldest sibling.

Looks like Florence and David in 1959

So maybe Frederick had passed away by then

Thank you Shirley. I hadn't found the Florence & David entry for 1959. The death cert. I've ordered for Frederick is 2015 so maybe I've ordered the wrong one. Fingers crossed it will arrive by weekend.
