She was supposed to look for a Margaret Collins with a father James born between 1864 and 1866. She said there was only one civil registration for a Margaret Collins in the 60s and she was born 1866 to Thomas Collins and Catherine Morris.
The research was done before the 1901 census came out or I would have extended the dates, but with all the different ages, she could have been born during a ten year period
How many Collins families in Ireland? .....

Gran, I just found a James Collins and a Bridget Reilly had a child Bridget in Collon, Louth. 1872. I doubt if this would be their only child, the only one on the online I.G.I. though.
Witness at Margarets wedding a Thomas Riley (remember she came to visit an uncle who was a policeman)
1881 census a Thomas Riley, Policeman, in Sculcoates, 5mls from Leeds.
Now the Crew policemen Benjamin and S. could be related or not , but I think by the looks of it the Yorkshire police were recruiting in County Louth. Francis Collins could well be a coincidence.
In fact, the above Rileys could be a coincidence, it needs a bit more investigation, but a possibility all the same.
