I have joined this list in the hope that some one can shed some light on where my wife's Gr-father was born.He was Thomas Collins and in the 1891 Census he was living at 28 Thompson St. Bishopwearmouth, Sunderland. He was living with his father P. Collins, his mother E. Collins and 3 siblings.His age was given as 28 and place of birth Durham. He married Catherine Gordon in the same year (1891) and his age was given as 25. I can not find the family in the 1881 Census, and I will greatly appreciate any help. Jim Cleary, Napier, N. Z.
