• Collins in Rathfarnham RC par records:
  • There are multiple baptisms of children of Patrick Collins and wife Mary (no surname) in Rathfarnham in 1832 to 1848. So many, I think this may be a different family. Also baptisms before 1836 cannot be Mary Walsh. Though we think our Patrick Collins had an earlier wife.

• "P. Cullen" is listed as "nephew" of Anne Collins at her funeral 1910.
  He may be either her nephew, or nephew of her husband Michael Flanagan.
