Biography

https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Collins-314

John Collins of Bramford, Suffolk.

Not much is known about John Collins or his occupation. The baptismal records for daughters Martha Collins and Sibilla Collens are yet to be found and might not exist. Braintree records start too late (c.1660). One of his THREE wives is yet to be found, that marriage would have taken place either just before 1590 or 1592-98.TW

It is quite likely that Grace Wagger (b:c.1565 d:1591-99) is the daughter of this William Wagger, but clearly NOT the daughter of this William Wagger (Will: 1625) with daughters yet to be married.TW
