My Family Tree

Assuming for now that these Collins who came from Sligo, Ireland and married into the same Myers & Shafers family are related.
Thomas and William were neighbors in 1851 Williamsburg Twp, Dundas, Ontario, Canada. Both immigrated 1841/1842, and both were Church of England. It is very likely they were brothers, while John is less likely a brother.

Another Collins in the tree of "Helen Peck Huersch", who appears in photos with my grandmother, Lela Myers McRoberts, is "Robert Collins" b~1800. Lived in Lockridge, Jefferson, IA (between Bloomingdale & Des Moines, IA). Some of the same given names: Robert, William, Maria, Jane, Sarah. See in tree here - https://www.ancestry.com/family-tree/person/tree/104818087/person/410040066451/facts [After much research, appears Helen Huersch's husband worked with Jim McRoberts in the railroad office]

A single marriage online for a William & Margaret: William Collins and Margaret Leihy 12 Nov 1797, Cloyne, Cork, Ireland (Catholic). Witness: John Hogue & Garret O'Brien , by Rev. Jos Clancy.

The only source I have found for an origin in Sligo, Ireland is the late Janice Casselman who was told that by long time Collins researcher, the late Beatrice Collins, granddaughter of James Collins (b.1826 Sligo, Ireland). Credible family lore. How to reconcile with Eliza Collins "born in Dublin, Ireland 1823"?) Dublin may have been only the port of departure from Ireland. Daughter Agnes death cert has "County Demar, Ireland" which does not exist - could be Dromore or Doomore in Sligo. Beatrice’ father, Andrew Broder Collins, was named after the respected merchant and elected representative, Andrew Broder of Dundas. Andrew Broder’s father William came from Kilfree, Sligo, and was born in Ballymote, Sligo, which is adjacent (3 miles from) Doomore. It’s possible the families knew each other in Sligo, or at least knew each others hometowns.

John and Elizabeth Collins live in Osnabruck Twp, Stormont, Ontario, and came much earlier - before 1824 and practiced Universalism.
William and Thomas practiced "Ch of England"
