I am looking for anyone with information about this family. Please contact me if you can help. Joseph L. Collinson was born in 1848 in Oldham, England (son of Thomas and Mary Collinson ). He was a blacksmith. He married Sophia Buckley (dau of Rueben and Mary Buckley) on 25 Oct. 1876. They had one son in England, Albert O. born in 1878. Joseph and Sophia came to the US around 1882. They came into Boston. Their second son, Thomas Buckley Collinson was born in Lowell , Mass on 16 Apr 1885. They then traveled to OH where Joseph resumed his blacksmith trade in Peoria, Union Co., OH. Sophia managed a hotel there in Raymond across from the store on Main Street. Sophia died 4 Dec. 1897. Joseph married Margaret Shirk in about 1898. They had at least 4 children that I know of: Russell Sage b. 1899, Iona b. 1902, Edna, and Mildred. If you have any info on this family concerning the time they were in England or the time they were in OH, I would appreciate it. I am the great great granddaughter of Joseph and Sophia and would love to contact the descedants of Joseph and Margaret. Thank you.
