Robert Collett 1747, sister Mary 1746, Two of more children to Anthony Collett & Mary May. Robert married Jane Brice, Mary married William Wallis Mason, but died (c) 1780, he remarried Elizabeth.
The gt. Grand daughter of Robert & Jane, married the Gt. Grandson of Mary & William Mason in 1887 Argentina, i.e. Jessie Suzette Collett to James Collett Mason, now styled Collett-Mason.

Looking for descendants of either family. My children descend through Margaret Collett-Mason daughter of Jessie & James.

Also does anyone have this Collett Mason line in their tree, because I am trying to work out if the line does descend from Mary who was a Collett, or through this other marriage, mentioned in thge magazine The Gentleman, as an obituary for Elizabeth Wallis Mason, aged 83 ( dated 1835) widow of William Wallis Mason. If the latter, then my earlier statement will be incorrect.
Thanks Avryll
