Collins

mrs Collins 13.6.1801 at Carlisle's / 20.1.1806 miss Collins at Rowan's

I have left aside for now the forty or so Collins entries between 1817 and 1827, all but the first one were miss Collins or E Collins (who were probably one person). The miss Collins at Rowan's above could have been the same person but there was a gap of eleven years. Meanwhile I have no idea yet who either of the two above were either
