Afternoon Diane, I promised that I would let you know how I progressed with Thomas Collins [Tailor] - Mary Haran/Haron and family when I had looked that LDS film no 1279233 that covers Kilconduff civil Parish. The film eventually arrived at Cheltenham FHC. Unfortunately none of the centre's film readers were able to magnify the film enough so that one could make an attempt to read it. It was suggested that I take the film to the Worcester FHC to see if their film readers could help. No such luck, their film readers were just the same. So I am no further forward than the data you help me to get from Irish Family History Foundation As you may Remember we have Thomas COLLINS married to Mary HARAN/HARON Children 1854 Michael COLLINS 1858 John COLLINS 1860 Patrick COLLINS 1863 Mary COLLINS 1868 Mary COLLINS - this data came from a copy of her birth Cert from the GENERAL Register Office Roscommon. That is the only piece of evidence that THOMAS was a TAILOR. So I am still not sure that MICHAEL COLLINS is my Grandfather and the rest is his/MY family. Another question is were their any other children between 1863 and 1868? Any help or suggestion would be appreciated Regards Peter Collins Cheltenham
