Celebrating Hampshire HistoriansCollins, Frances Brophy1899 - 25 September 1984Frances Collins was born in South Wales and her early interest in archaeology and local history was awakened while being driven around her father’s country doctor practices. She attended Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, reading Modern History and graduated in 1921. A career in teaching followed, culminating in her appointment as Head of St Saviour’s and St Olave’s Grammar School, Southwark. Other interests included the transcribing of parish registers and contributing to graveyard surveys, with the demographic information being passed on to the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure.
