Can anyone please help with information on my grandparents, James Collins (1879-1954) & Brigit Daly (Daley?) ( 18? - 1922). Seems they stayed in Thistle Terrace, Rose Place, Liverpool (county Lanceshire Liverpool) during the 1901 census. Would love to know who their parents were. Am stuck and am not having any luck finding my great grandparents. Thanks so much. Sue Matodes (nee Collins) South Africa
