A baptism certificate tells me my granddad ALEXANDER COLLINS was baptised in the Church of Christ the Redeemer, when it was in the Shankhill parish, in the diocese of Dromore. My great grandfather and grandmother were called JOHN and ELLEN COLLINS (nee)MCNEIL, and they had 3 other children. JOHN(jnr)was the eldest,next my granddad called ALEXANDER, then SAMUEL and then a girl called ELLEN. They appear to have lived in Charles Street, LURGAN around about 1865. I would be grateful for any further information on the where abouts of any of these family members or their decendants.

Hi Alex....just read your posting reference looking for the Collins family in Lurgan...Well I`m one of many and I think I will be able to help you.

Regards

Wilson Collins
