Dennis, If you go to http://www.btinternet.com/~ra.millard/ then choose census records on left. You can find census records for Hawkesbury. This site also has other information about Hawkesbury. I have listed 1871 census records for COLLINS which includes the ones you mentioned. It seems that Edward COLLINS has re-married. I hope this gives you some more information. If you go to http://www.familysearch.org and search for Edward COLLINS and Ann PENLEY. You can find: Edward COLLINS Christening: 09 JUN 1805 Boxwell With Leighterton, Gloucester, England. Ann PENLEY Christening: 15 FEB 1814 Uley, Gloucester, England Father: JOHN PENLEY Mother: ALICE Perhaps these are yours. I have also listed 1851 census record for this family in Hawkesbury aswell. 23 Hawkesbury common Raymond H Collins head 32 Farmer of 70 acres Ozleworth Gloucestershire Emma M Collins wife 27 Berkley Gloucestershire Fredrick Collins son 9 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Emma Powell servant single 22 Dairy maid Berkley Gloucestershire 102 Back street Edward P Collins head 35 Haulier Ozleworth Gloucestershire Sarah Ann Collins wife 44 Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Sarah J Collins daughter 10 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire John D Collins son 9 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Penly T Collins son 6 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Clement Collins son 5 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Hannah D Collins daughter 3 Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Charles Collins son 1m Hawkesbury Gloucestershire 106 Back street Edmund Collins head 34 Farmer and corn dealer Ozleworth Gloucestershire Mary Collins wife 34 Mangotsfield Gloucestershire Mary Collins daughter 12 Scholar Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Sophia Hopkins servant single 13 Domestic servant Hawkesbury Gloucestershire 108 Back street Edward Collins head 65 retired farmer Boxwell Gloucestershire Rosena Collins wife 25 Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Lancelot Collins son 20 single assistant draper Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Emmeline Collins daughter 2 Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Ella A Collins daughter 4m Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Richard G Dix vistor 16 assistant brewer Hawkesbury Gloucestershire Naomi A Watts servant single 15 Domestic servant Hawkesbury Gloucestershire I also have copy of 1851 census for Gloucestershire which gives family as :- 77 (In Hawkesbury Parish) COLLINS Edward 40 Farmer 37 ac Boxwell Ann 39 Uley Edmund Hatherell Collins 14 Ozleworth Raymond Harris Collins 13 Ozleworth Richmond Davis 5 Hawkesbury Lancelot 1 week Hawkesbury NIBLETT Eliza Nurse 28 Monthly Nurse Hawkesbury WINBORO Sally Servant 11 Hawkesbury 79 RODWAY William 74 Farmer 250 ac Hawkesbury Ann 60 Hawkesbury Harriet 27 Hawkesbury John 24 Farmer Hawkesbury Susan 18 Hawkesbury Rowland 5 Hawkesbury COLLINS Ann Elizabeth Grand Daughter 8 Hawkesbury VELLINDER Harriet Servant 21 Cherrington Regards Steve Baker Researching ELLIS, SHOVELLER, BIGWOOD, KEMP, possibly CUZENS (Portsea, Hampshire) BAKER, PORTER, SMITH (Isle of Wight) PORTER, RAWLINSON, MORLEY, TAYLOR (Grantham, Lincolnshire) CHEDZEY, PERKS (Bridgwater / Bishops St Lydiard, Somerset) COATES, CHAPPELL, THOMPSON (Hawkesbury Upton, Gloucestershire) JORDAN, LEEDER (Brome, Bungay, Whickham Skeith, Suffolk) LANGFORD (Ringstead, Norfolk) ----- Original Message ----- From: "df.collins" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: 08 July 2003 19:39 PM Subject: [HWK] the COLLINS family > After being a member since 2001 this COLLINS has started to try and find his way back to his ancestors and has got to Hawkesbury Upton and found a Richmond Davies COLLINS (1846-1885) who was I think one of four children, the others Edward Penley COLLINS (probably late of Back Street), Raymond Harris COLLINS (possibly a farmer on Hawkesbury Common) and maybe Launcelot COLLINS. Richmond Davies COLLINS was my greatgrandfather. Where I am stuck is that I know their father and mother to be Edward COLLINS and Ann PENLEY but cannot find any information about them. > Can anyone point me in the right direction to get more information - where should I look??? > > Many thanks > Dennis Collins Hempsted Gloucester. > > > ==== ENG-GLO-HAWKESBURY Mailing List ==== > When replying to messages please make sure to remove ALL the "Re: and Hawks" bits in the subject line as otherwise these will be repeated. > Penalty for non-compliance is a Pond Dipping. > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > >
