I have been searching for my grandmothers family for years now and hope that I can finally find them.
Mary Collins born to Daniel Collins and Mary Cotter in 1861'
She came to Australia before 1881 as she then married john Lugg, in Mt Barker South Aust.in 1881
She is said to have one sister and brother Dennis. Who had a job of some kind in the Navy as he was said to have visited her in Sth Aust probably early 1900.
I would be very greatful if some one can shed some light on her for me. Mary
