Eileen Report 22 May 2010 19:36

I am trying to find any information on Bridget Collins who married Richard Rowley at Louth in Lincolnshire on 21st April 1870. Her father's name was given as Michael on the marriage certificate and Bridget gave her birthplace as Ireland on the 1871 Census. Can anyone help?

Following her through the census records, here she is in1911. At least it gives where in Ireland she came from.

To Sue in Leeds. I would like to know wherein Ireland she came from and also how long she had been in England. I know that following her marriage to Richard Rowley they had a daughter Catherine in 1871 but I cannot trace the family on the Census after that.

To Sue in Leeds, Thanks for your response but I cannot be sure it is the correct person because the place born for both Richard & Bridget shows as Middlesex. I have also had someone else on Genes Reunited who has a Richard Rowley married to a Bridget and they had that address but the Bridget was not Collins.

Eileen,

The Middlesex on the 1881 is a mistake by whoever transcribed it at the Mormon Church.

On the 1881 census image it doesn't even say Middlesex for Richard and Bridget Rowley.

If you get the 1881 census up for yourself and click to see the image you will see that there is NO Middlesex next to LINCOLN.

I have sent you a pm(private message) you will be able to see it if you click on MESSAGES

Thank you for the information about Michael Collins, I have checked it out and gone on from the Census you provided but i cannot be certain that it is the correct Michael because there is no mention of a Bridget anywhere.
Feeling a bit tender today but I am sure I will soon be feeling better.
