COLLA family of Clerkenwell/Middlesex/London

**messmanager** · 25-07-2009 08:45 AM

Hi.

I'm researching the COLLA family of Clerkenwell, Middx.

This is an unusual name so it is a hard slog to obtain background.

The earliest I have is an Andrew COLLA b.cir 1807 d.cir 1847 married to Harriet nee Vincent.

Andrew was from Italy so thats a bit of a dead end although the family from 1840 flourished.

This is my wifes family so it is not my primary.

Anyone with information would be gldly welcomed.

Thanks

B

Thanks for the reply.

I do have all the up to date family information including that as it appears on the 1881 census, what I was hoping for was someone doing similar research so that notes could be cross referenced. My wife's family are descendants of the Peter COLLA you mentioned but I have nothing for Andrew's other children.

I have, in addition to Peter, Baptista, another Andrew, Lewis and a daughter Harriet.

Any information for these would be most helpful as would any background tips or hints regarding Andrew snr.

Thanks again for the interest.

Thanks for the input.

It does fill in a few gaps but also confirms other information.

A little confusion over Peter Colla's details (b.10 February 1844). I have family documentation that states his wifes maiden name as JEWEL. Eleanor Elizabeth JEWEL, but she was known as Elizabeth. Everything else matches, including the children.

Thanks again.
