You are talking about my family here and you have incorrect information based on a mistake made by another researcher.

An Arthur Collins from Melbourne married Ethel Francis. My father Arthur Collons, the one born in Caramut married my mother (30 years his junior) and she is still alive so I will not give details.

When this incorrect information first appeared I obtained the marriage certificate of the other Arthur Collins and contacted the person who made the mistake. They corrected it.

Could you correct it here please? Joseph Robert Collins was a taylor in England but somehow got the job for one year in Horsham as town clerk- see Horsham historical society for details.

Caroline Duffy was from Ireland, another Internet mistake that keeps turning up.
