MGC: [Patterns]: Places: Bramford, Woolverstone, London, Earls Colne, Kent (All around Maidstone area), Norfolk. Near St. Peter le Poer: Merchant's Tailors School, Broad Street, Goldsmiths, writers-publishers-poets, merchants, nearby churches, all just north of the London Bridge. And so on ....

You know what -R ?, you really want to know what -R ?, I think you have climbed the wrong tree (!!!). There are two Daniel Collins. But it is the Daniel Collins of St. Peter le Poer that is ours here. Fawn, this is probably the same thing with your tree, for your Whitson chap, there are two persons of the same name with a father of the same name. I suspect the other set might be of better immediate value to your tree. I am adding [St. Mary Woolnoth] church to my list of London churches. I 'think' Thomas Francknell might be a churchwarden there or something like that. But this is where he is hiding .... .... .... - S.K.M. -[!!!] =====================
