Johanna Collins

RoscommonCreagh (Roscommon)

I am looking for information about my great, great grandmother Johanna Collins who married John Sullivan in 1846 in your parish. She was born around 1825 and had a sister Elizabeth born around 1817.

I think her father could have been John.

In the 1851 England census these 2 women were living in Carlisle while their husbands were in the British army. I would begrateful for any infoumation anybody could give me about the Collins family.

Margaret:

Suggest you go to www.irishgenealogy.ie  they have the RC records for the Diocese of Cork and Ross which includes the parish of Skibbereen (Creagh and Sullon). I searched for Johanna Collins' baptism records in that parish and found one on January 8,1826  where the father's name was John. No idea if this is your relative. ( I assume North Street was in Skibbereen).
