Lansallos, Polperro, Talland and Pelynt lie between the two river 'ports' of East/West Looe and Polruan/Fowey. Those are the sites of interest for the Collin's family of William Thomas Collins. |

The majority common name for these families is 'Collings', but in the 1861 census they got the name right as being 'Collins' which ironically was the same year in which William Thomas Collins is firt shown as a child and son of this family.I would suggest and look for Richard Collins, 'boardr', age 30 to be the unmarried brother of John Collins as he is still living with the family in 1871. |

This 'Crumplehorn' residence is actually in a small 'hamlet' about
polperro which is found on many Cornwall survey mappings.

Back home in the Crumplehorne Hamlet only grand daughter Jany/Janey Collins is left with William Thomas Collin's parents Thomas and Lucy Collins. And William T. Collins in living on Middle Market St., East Looe with new wife Grace Chipman (Hender) and her son, now his step son Albert Hender. Philip Trout Hender died August, 1778, and would appear that William and Grace are but 'newly weds' with children of their own yet to come. During the decade to come they will have three daughter and one son. Two daughters will be born in England and the other son and daughter will be born in Canada. |

The young Collins family migrated to Canada some time during the 4 years between January, 1883 and June 1887. If they had any children during this time the child did not live long as the child does not appear on the 1991 Canadian Census. Albert Hender, here age 13 (born 1878), will leave his family by the next Census, be in Utah where he would marry Laura Antoinette Dibble in the Salt Lake Temple, 24, October 1900 and be found in Utah, USA Census in West Layton with his wife Laura A. Hender and son Philip D. Hender, see 1910 USA census after next and last Canadian census. |

Albert Hender lived with was raised and schooled there in Canada with his Collins' family. After his school and before 1900, Albert, now a young man, left Canada and from what we know came to Utah to deal in live stock, particually 'sheep'? Just what his connects were or had developed with the LDS church other than having become aquaited with the Dibble family is not known for sure. He marries in Utah and is there in 1910 as seen on the next US census record. As for the Collins family, they are still settled in Canada as the 1901 census depicts. |
