I'm trying to find relatives of Charles and Annie Collins.

Charles was born in Finsbury, Wilts in 1876 and Annie (nee Dobson) was born in Bradford on Avon, Wilts in 1875.

They were married in Bradford on Avon in 1900 and Charles father is listed as William Collins, Labourer. At the time of their marriage Charles is listed as living in South Croydon and according to the 1901 census they (Charles and Annie) were living at 39 Purley Road, Croydon - they had no children living with them at this time.

I know that Annie had an illegitimate daughter, Edith, born in 1893 (my great grandmother), and she was brought up by Annie's parents Reuben and Sarah Dobson, in Bradford on Avon. What I'd like to find out is whether Annie had any children with Charles.

Can anyone help me please?
