Sorry to disappoint you - but Admiral Lord Cuthbert Collingwood only had daughters.
One of them, on marrying, carried on the surname Collingwood, but there were NO male descendants from his daughters. That line died with them.
He DID serve with Nelson at the Battle of Traffalgar, as Admiral of the Blue, and finished off the battle (and the French) after Nelson was shot & killed.
His remains lie in St Paul's, London near those of Nelson.
His title died with him.
