Hi Heidi, I think the only way to sort this out is to see the original records, they are held as follows:- The register of the parish church of All Saints commences in 1558. The original registers for the period 1558-1899 (Bapts), 1558-1954 (Mar) & 1558-1971 (Bur) and Banns for the period 1870-1872 are deposited at Staffordshire Record Office. Bishops Transcripts, 1673-1853 (with gaps 1711-14, 1733, 1793-94 (Mar), 1803 (Bapts) & 1837-53 (Mar)) are deposited at Lichfield Record Office.

to be honest keith im not sure where the death came from....it was in another family tree i found by accident on sedgley site and then again on ancestry...i just took that fro granted....the richard here was a 6x cousin once removed which is why i didnt until now needed to look further..it could be i was misinformed and he didnt die and therefore married elizabeth....however i have looked eeply and cant seem to connect my richard to susannah's father richard... im sorry i know its confusing....xx but i appreciate your time and effort xx

:-( thought we may have been lucky, is his death on PR? cannot see it on IGI.

John and Hannah's marriage? Again submitted. JOHN COLLINS Marriages: Spouse: HANNAH LOW Family Marriage: 06 OCT 1760 Sedgley, Stafford, England Possible birth for John Snr? JOHN COLLINS Christening: 01 DEC 1734 Sedgley, Stafford, England Parents: Father: JOHN COLLINS Family Mother: ELIZABTH

yes keith hun its the one that died aged three....those findings u have there are the ones i have....so as you can see due to richards daughters names they follow family names... xx

neither can i....the only thing i can think of is to go right thru all my contact and there findings....maybe some1 has him and ive not noticed... the only birth i could find aroiund that time is the one i have which he only lived 3 yrs.. xx

At the moment, no idea about his birth. I would have expected them to have married, but I cannot see a marriage for them anywhere between 1795 +- 10 years in Staffordshire.

BINGO, this could be him, but is a submitted antry, or is this the one that died aged 3. RICHARD COLLINS Event(s): Birth: Christening: 30 JUL 1769 Sedgley, Stafford, England Parents: Father: JOHN COLLINS Family Mother: HANNAH If thats him, these are children of the same parents. 1.

Sorry Heidi, cannot see anything on IGI or Ancestry Staffordshire parish records. :-(

thanks Keith.... its doing my head in...when i find it then perhaps will have his parents on it which should be in my tree.... xx ( ill give u more if u find b4 me) lol

Sorry Heidi, just noticed your post above, still searching for a possible marriage for Richard and Elizabeth

grrrrrrrr.......now i cant find the marriage of Richard and Elizabeth....the brik wall has now got a bigger hole...lol heidi xx

Heidi, I bet Susanna did not sign on her marriage? I would not be surprised if this is yours, most people could not read and write at that time, so had to rely on others spelling it as they thought.

thank you keith....i agree it could be mine...probably is....but am so stuggling to find info on her father richard....i need to link him into the tree...as i have so many names by collins it can get confusing any ideas? xx

hi....thanks ....keith you found more than i did thank you.... these like you said are extracted so still not sure if the same susanna....especially as....the marriage info have come from parish records....both containing the age of father and therefore making it 1770cc....the records spell hjer name susannah....but again the birth yr fo her is 1807...i cant find any othr susannah born there at same time..

What marriage certificates do you have that show the father? Where do you get the c1770 birth year for him?
