These are the plumbers on 1901, who are old enough to be Wm's father, and don't have a 'wrong' second initial William Collins 52 Surrey Woking Surrey Woking Plumber William Collins 53 Kent N K Sth Manchester Plumber William Collins 60 Headington Oxon Oxfordshire Headington Lead Plumber As the chap who married was a Mariner, he could have been in Liverpool purely as a result of that.........no knowing where he might have been born.

Thankyou for the offer Debbie but I dont think thats him. On Williams marriage certificate it says his father was a plumber. I have found a William Frederick Collins, plumber on a census but his son is Willoughby not William. Jayne

Ha Ha Hi Everyone Accutually the pain did get too much for me. I have had a bad reaction to malaria tablets that I have been put on. I have spent the last 2 days in major pain. I cant keep still for long so sorry about that. The Pain in my name was a good choice. HA HA. Anyway here goes. My g grandfathers name was William Collins. His wifes name was Mary Ellen Cosgrove ( if you look back on this board you will notice I have been asking for help with the Cosgroves ) They were married on the 27th June 1905 he was 22 and a mariner. His address on the certificate was Earle Street. His fathers name was William Frederick Collins, deceased.He was a plumber. I have found a William Frederick Collins on a couple of census but there is never a William there. Thankyou Jayne
