There was a younger brother Thomas. If you manage to find the marriage record of Thomas and Ellie Collins, it should state his father's name. Good luck.sb10https://www.blogger.com/profile/01391069316427376726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307640823473103973.post-18622297300443980762017-05-20T07:57:40.350-07:002017-05-20T07:57:40.350-07:00Hello

Her Great Grandmother was Ellen Collins (Ellie)who married Thomas Leonard. We believe this Thomas was related to Joe Leonard of the Twelve Apostles of the IRA. Any info you could share would be wonderful. <br /><br />Many thanks<br />DougDouglas Cochranehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372650484725598869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4307640823473103973.post-31967804897012831662011-07-15T02:27:02.106-07:002011-07-15T02:27:02.106-07:00I am a direct descendant of Diana Collins, daughte...I am a direct descendant of Diana Collins, daughter of Daniel Collins and Mary O'Mahoney.
