Hi Kay

I am located in Massachusetts - my family settled in New Hampshire. As far as I know, Teddy Collins was the only Collins that settled there in Brisbane. He was the son of Julia Sullivan and James Collins both from Skibbereen - County Cork. However, Teddy's Aunt Hannah Sullivan (Julia's sister) married a Herbert V Cottell - I found the listing for their children, their spouses but not their off spring.

On the other side of my tree, while researching on my maternal side, I have found relatives living in Brisbane - Olga McDade, a retired teacher, and her son, Ian McDade, a teacher along with Olga's daughter Colleen. It was a pleasure to have found them and learn more family history.

If I can help in any way with your Collins, please let me know. I will write to your contact and let you know when I hear from her.

Take care and thank you so very much.

Eileen

Hi Eileen

Just realised I don't know where you are - imagine it is in the US. After
looking up some Irish burials in Queensland I realised that I also have
Collins' in my family tree. Think that they were in s/east Queensland.

Regards, Kay
