Birth / Marriage

Hi Malcolm

There are a few Richard Collins birth/baptism records on www.rootsireland.ie/ in Cork but they are all in the 1800's & none in Fanlobbus

http://ifhf.rootsireland.ie/quis.php?page=1&confirmPageView=Y

www.irishgenealogy.ie/ has a baptism in the 1790's parish Cork & Ross parents Richard Collins & Catherine Connor

Family Search has a Richard John Collins born 1790 Cork married Anne Popples Chase 1815

On ancestry.com the Dopp & OurFamilyTree have him born in Rathcoole (Rathkeale?) 1756 & parents James Collins and Diana Coakley

Thank you for your replys.  I have a little more information with regard to Richard Collins (Senior).At the time he was in the Regiment of Veterans he was in Kilmainham Hospital.  On release from Hospital he went to Buttevent and was discharged from there on the 24th March 1821 and his papers indicate he went back to live near Cork.  On his discharge Richard would have been about 59 years old.  His papers also state that he was "Worn Out" so one may assume that he just may have died before 1830.  At his discharge his son also Richard  would have been about 11 years old.

So I seem to be looking for a very old worn out man with a wife who would be a lot younger than him and has an 11 year old boy who was living near Cork.

Thank you, thank you very much for all your help.   Malcolm

Hello Col     Sorry about that you are right with the ? .  Looking at all the figures infront of me I added

where I should have taken away.  Born in 1762 so when he was discharged from the army in 1821 he would

have been c59 years of age.   Put it down to me being rather old!!!!!

Many thanks  Malcolm

I'm afraid these are the only records for around 1862:
