Hi Dawn,

It might be helpful if you could give some more information like first names
or even approximate dates. How do you know that they were from Bath?

For example on the 1881 census there is a retired Blacksmith called George
COLLINS aged 65 living in Bath - he was born in Trowbridge, Wiltshire - His
wife was called Elizabeth.
There are no Wheelwrights called COLLINS in Bath in 1881
However there is another George COLLINS aged 38 who is a Journeyman
Carpenter & Wheelwright at Newton St Loe in 1881 - which is very near to
Bath.
