Collins, James
Date and place of birth unknown. Details of education unknown. Place of study unknown. Date and place of ordination unknown. This entry is made because he is listed in ACD as being located at Tamworth in the years 1935 to 1937 and at Moree in 1938. There are no records of his movements within the diocese after that date. It has been suggested he was
an Irishman on loan to the diocese during the period from the Sydney Archdiocese, to where he then returned. Date and place of death unknown. Place of burial unknown.
