I am trying to trace relatives of Charles Collins, born in London (Peckham/Camberwell) aound 1886. His parents were James & Susan Collins and Charles had several brothers & sisters including my maternal grandmother May Victoria Collins (1893-1987).
The 1901 Census showed he lived with his parents and siblings at 189 Peckham Park Road Camberwell (Parish).
Charles emigrated to New Zealand around 1919 and later became a Member of Parliament in NZ and that is as far as I can get.
I have some information on his siblings and and also for the family that my Grandmother married into - Arthur Dudley being her husband (1891-1974) who was also a very well known eccentric dancer and Dame Comedian on the club circuit from around 1912-late 1930s, although he did appear with his father (George) when he was 7 years old! I would like to hear from anyone who may have family connections with the Collins or Dudley families as they lived very close to each other. The Dudleys lived at 34 Frankton Road CAmberwell in the 1901 Census.

Thank you Robin
