My great-grandfather was Gerard Collins.  He married Margaret (I don't know her maiden name) and had 4 children: Gerard, Maureen, Maurice and Marguerite.  Maurice was my grandfather, born 1906.  The others did not marry.  I know Gerard died young, but Margaret never remarried.  I wondered if anyone could take me back further?  Thanks!

  • have you found the family on the 1901 and or 1911 census ?

    I'd suggest starting the search with a birth cert for Maurice, as that would include the maiden name for his mother, which in turn would help the marriage search for Gerard snr and Magaret, a cert for which would provide father's details etc...
