General Notes
Named John Collins in 1834 when married and for all the births, baptism and burial records to 1840. After that, Mary and Williams baptism (but not birth) and Happy and George's births were registerd as COLLINGE (or COLLINGS).
Moved from Great Bolton (probably Deane where they married and wife Sarah later buried) to Little Bolton about 1837. Abode was Little Bolton for Harriet's burial and all later birth records.
In 1841, John a cotton opperative and Sarah Collings (both 25) are at Haigh Street, L.B. with Mary (3) and William (1).
In 1851, John a cotton spinner and Sarah (37 & 39) are at 70 Turton Street, L.B. with Mary (14), William (12), Edmund (8), Happy (5) and George (2).
In 1861, living at 16 Woods Court, Bolton with wife Sarah and three children.
The ages of the two Sarahs are diferent. Between 1851 and 1861. Also, James is a step-son. The first Sarah must have died, and John remarried another Sarah.
John was a Cotton Wash Dealer, and a Butcher when Happy married in 1868, and may have emigrated after 1861, as none of the family are to be found in the UK.
