Hello Ted, Polly, Anne, If, as Polly says, the Brothers Martin are stepsons, rather than sons-in-law, of John Collins, then the marriage of John Collins to Mary Ann Martin in 1846 would appear to be what is being sought. The marriage was registered at West Bromwich Register Office in the quarter ending 31st December 1846. The GRO reference is Vol 18, Page 78. David in Brierley Hill
Hi David Well done - exactly right! And how can a single son-in-law be married to anyone, Ted?!

Hello Polly, A single son in law, as far as I am concerned, is a contradiction in terms. As I pointed out in the last sentence of my message to you this morning, if I had a son in law, which I have not, he would be the husband of my daughter. God help him. Ted
