He wrote a number of Poetry Books and was likened to William Wordsworth as a Lakeland Poet

However he does not appear to exist before 1890 Census.

Have posted marriage to see if that helps

Yes snoopysue ,
Have added everything I can but not found him before 1891 Census and 1888 at Holy Trinity.

There is a suggestion his name was Harrison not Collinson but someone sponsored him to Holy Orders and Oxford University and all Collinson and Harrisons I have found in Cumberland or Westmoreland were ordinary Ag. workers or Wool Spinners
