I would like to find a marriage record of an Alfred Collins married to an Elizabeth (Betsy) ? in about 1853. Alfred was from Verona and they continued to live there for the next 30 years or so. I am trying to find Elizabeth's maiden name if possible. They could have married as early as 1850 but didn't have their first child until 1854. Thank you, Dale in California

Dale, I am of no relation to the Collins and have no information than what I found. They may or may not be your ancestors, though I hope so. You might also try the historical society in Vernon or Verona or look for church records in the area. Hope this helps you. utica herald, 10/28/1910 Alfred A.
