Find Ancestors

Hi
Im trying to find any information on my grandmother called Hilda Rosalie Collins.I think she was born in Saltley,Birmingham around 1889 and I know she married a John Walter Samuel Smith at St Saviours Church in Saltley in 1919.She died soon after my mum was born and we have little information about her or her family.

Name: Hilda Rosalie Collins
Year of Registration: 1886
Quarter of Registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
District: Keynsham
County: Gloucestershire, Somerset
Volume: 5c
Page: 645

Only birth I could find:-

Births Mar 1886 (>99%)
COLLINS Hilda Rosalie Keynsham 5c 645
The district Keynsham spans the boundaries of the counties of Gloucestershire and Somerset

If you buy the certificate it will give you her fathers name and profession and her mothers name and maiden name.

Buying the marriage cert is your safest option........

Marriages Jun 1919 (>99%)

Collins Hilda R Smith Aston 6d 1019
Smith John W S Collins Aston 6d 1019

It will have her father's name (if known)

This would be the birth of the girl I found in 1901.................

Births Jun 1887 (>99%)

Collins Hilda Ruby Aston 6d 363

So that rules her out.............

Just to say to be careful as there are two Hilda R. Collins born 1886 and 1887 Birmingham area.
I believe that the one born in Aston will be the following:-

Births Jun 1887 (>99%)

Hilda Rosalie Collins
Thank you to everyone who replied to the request for help finding my grandmother,since posting I,ve found that although she married at Saltley she may have been born at Ashleworth near Gloucester.Anyone who knows off either the Long family or the Collins family from there-I would love to hear from you!
