I am revisiting the site to see if any info has emerged since last year regarding Walter collins and my mother May Hackett. it seems I had been following the wrong grandmother and thought that Julia Collins parents were called Finn. i now know that she in fact was of the Collins/Atterbury clan. Julia went on to marry my grandfather Charles Hackett and lived in Cowper Street. I am still confused as to why the 1901 census shows that she was born in the USA. I think that Kate first married a Walter Collins as shown on the 1881 C and the after he died had George Atterbury as a lodger in 1891, then after that they all seemed to be called Collins! what a mix up.
Walter who died in 1937 appears to have been Julia's son but who was the father as there is no birth certificate? If any one has had their memory been jogged about all this and remembers my mum May I would love to hear.
many thanks,
JOF
