Thank you for responding.George Smith Collis was my paternal great grandfather, I am trying to find out more about his offspring other than my paternal grandfather (Edwin Martin Collis, born 1877 and paternal great aunt (Annie Grace Dyrenforth).I believe there was another brother (half) - E.G. George Collis? but I have no other information regarding this.
