I am trying to find information about my Great Grandmother Margaret Collins. All I know from my mother is that she was from Toronto, was one of four sisters and was a Roman Catholic. She was married to my Great Grandfather, Edward Albert Percy, at St Paul's, London, Ontario on 1 January 1868 age 17; her first child was born in 1869 in New Brunswick and then they came to the UK where she lived for the rest of her life.
I have found two Margaret Collins in the 1851 Ontario Census both age 1. The first is not near to Toronto; however, the second entry looks promising. The parents names are John and Mary Collins, both born in Ireland and the children listed are Mary age 7, Jane age 6, Elizabeth age 4 and Margaret age 1. All the children are listed as Canadian and all Roman Catholic.
Does anybody have any information about this family please? Also, does anybody know about any Catholic baptismal records for this period from the Albion Township.
Many thanks Chris
