• Daniell Collins, Merchant of Broad Street, London.
• bp:1583-05-12: Bramford, Suffolk: Daniell, sonn of John Collins, 12 May.
• Daniell Collins⁵ had 'NO OFFSPRING (sp). His ONLY wife was Sibbill Francknell. Please do NOT ADD ANY OFFSPRING for him or ANY OTHER WIFE of any other surname including FRANKLYN or the likes. A full and conclusive research has been done on this specific point, and NOT necessary to any further confuse this surname, now correctly placed here on WikiTree as per primary record. A book print error, not a primary reference error, in The Visitation of London 1633, incorrectly gives Daniell Collins' wife's surname to be FRANKLYN. Errors elsewhere are perpetuated from these book print errors. The short answer lies in the full contingent of that family's baptismal records where in every single case the surname is clearly spelt FRANCKNELL.^TW

• sister Thompson¹: She is currently unknown and difficult to find. She will be a sister. Possibly a wife of any one of Daniell Collins' in-laws, or even an unknown blood sister from one of his father's previous two marriages, or the last child born c.1584/5 maybe in London. It is impossible Daniell Collins' sister Abigail Collins is the person who married the Rev. William Thompson of Newton (Newton-le-Willows), near Winwick, Lancashire and New England.^TW

• John Collins of Bramford, Suffolk, 'Sailcloth Maker' of Ipswich, Suffolk, then Citizen and Salter of London (1583: St. Mildred, Bread Street).
• 1574-04-03: Licence for 21 years to John Collins of Ipswich, Suffolk, Richard his brother and such as have been their apprentices to make medrinacks, poldavies and other sail-cloth. To supply the British Navy with sailcloth.
• 1582: Thomas Langham d:1582-08-13 London; John Langham, citizen and writer of Court-hand, is his kinsman and next heir, to wit, son of Richard Langham brother of the said Thomas Langham, and was then aged 47 years and more.
• 1583: Inquisitiones Post Mortem: Thomas Langham... also of 1 other messuage, with the shops, cellars, solars and yards, situate in the said parish of St. Mildred, formerly in the tenure of John Clapshawe, late in that of John Collins⁶, citizen and salter of London, and now in that of William Graunte, salter, next adjoining the messuage in the occupation of Robert Gibbes, salter of London, on the south part and abutting upon the Rectory belonging to the parish Church of St. Mildreds aforesaid on the north part, by purchase of William Boxe, citizen and grocer of London.[79]
  • 1583: The year Daniel Collins was born, we find his father John Collins in London. After this so far, no more offspring were baptized in Bramford, any further possible offspring would be born in London not too far from St. Mildred. This gives rise to the possibility of a daughter sister Thompson b:c.1584+ in London, which would make sense, since and if sister Thompson were the youngest offspring, she could be mentioned in the will of her brother Daniel Collins (1639). If so, this still renders it impossible for sister Thompson to be the wife of the Rev. William Thompson of Newton (Newton-le-Willows), near Winwick, Lancashire and New England. This also means sister Thompson's first name (Not given in the will) should not be Abigail, it could be anything.^TW
  • Winwick is a village in the parish of Warrington, Cheshire, and borders Newton-le-Willows. Originally it was located within the historic boundaries of Lancashire.[80]^[61]
• The messuage or brewhouse called the Hartes Horne and the 2 messuages thereto adjoining now in the tenure of Thomas Arte are held of the Queen as of her manor of East Greenwich in co. Kent, by fealty only in free socage, and not in chief, and are worth per ann., clear, £6 . The messuage now in the tenure of William Graunte is held of the Queen in free burgage of the said City by the yearly rent of id., and is worth per ann., clear, 405.
• 1594: John Collens was buried in Bramford, Suffolk. A family Bible given to his daughter's husband states: 'Mr. John Collins her father was buried at Bramford, Sept. 14, 1594'. See Abigail Collins. In the will (1639) of his son Daniel Collins it states: 'The parish of Bramford where I was born and my father lies buried'.
• His THIRD wife was Abigail Rose.
• His brother Richard Collins.[81]^[62]
• Francis Owdry (Owdreyn), then of Abingdon, then of Ipswich, Suffolk.
