Sorry, no Colliers in my family that I know of, but I do have plenty of Witchells.Alfred Edward, b.1870 in Nympsfield Gloucestershire England, emigrated to USA or Canada, one of my family line, probably him raised pigs and sent them back to Bristol England, live, they were driven cross country back to Nympsfield where the family,who were butchers as well as inn keepers, brewers, farmers, shop keepers etc. made them into pork pies.Later sold business to Hilliers, who still make pork pies today.Later my Grans Uncle, Henry Witchell also Emergrated to the US, I think Miami, probably about 1900's.
Hope its some help,
Clare.
