Anne Esther Randall was said to have been a lady in waiting to queen Victoria before Anne was married. ( The royal archives in England have no record of this and they say that they keep very good records of Ladies in Waiting. Nor do they have any record of her mother, Elizabeth or Ann Benfield as a lady in waiting.). The story is told by the family that the queen gave Anne a pair of silk stockings that are still in the family. As far as can be proven, it is just a fun family story.

Anne Esther'Randall's family had their own coach and footman. Her father was a pork butcher on London Road in Southwark, England. Anne was christened at the church of England, Saint George the Martyr, just down the street. There was a debtor's prison next door to the church. At the time Anne was growing up, Charles Dicken's father was in that debtor's prison. Charles Dicken's would visit his father there. It is most likely that Charles Dicken's also attended that same church as a child. I don't know where she met her future husband, but the story passed down is that her father was not pleased that she married William Collis, who was a brewer. They married in 1852. Within 4 1/2 years they had 4 children: Ada, William, Laura, and Anna. Was it adventure that prompted them to immigrate to the United States? Whatever the reason, they were preparing to leave England, when their 3rd child, Laura Elizabeth, died suddenly, at 2 years of age, just 8 days before sailing. It is believed she died from the inoculations received in preparation for the trip. On 25 April 1858 they left from London, England, sailed for America on the ship Cornelius Grinnell with Capt A. G. Fletcher, and arrived in New York 3 June 1858. What a hardship to leave a little one behind. Another little boy, Alfred, was born to Anne almost a year after arriving in the U.S. Another little boy, Austin, was born nearly 5 years later. At ages 5 and 7, both Alfred and his sister, Anna, died within 2 weeks of each other. Rachael was born a year later in 1866. After being discharged from the Union Army, William and Anne decided to move west. Rachael was born in New Jersey before they left by freighter to go to the Isthmus of Panama. They crossed the Isthmus where they marveled at the monkeys. They then boarded a freighter up the Pacific Coast to San Francisco. Their furniture was shipped around the horn of South America. They settled in San Francisco where William was a saloon keeper. Their last three children, Walter, Florence, and Lillian were born in San Francisco, California. They had 10 children born to them, 3 of which died young. One child, Rachael, was listed as an imbecile, rumored to have been caused by a fall on her head,and never married.
After the death of her husband, Anne maintained a home in Brentwood with her two unmarried daughters, Lillian and Rachel. In 1903 she lived at 566 Walter Street in San Francisco. She had a dowager hump caused by osteoporosis. The last 4 years before her death, she lived with her daughter, Florence Gates, because she needed contant attending. Anne died at age 90, January 2, 1918, of old age. She is buried in the Point of Timber Cemetary in Brentwood, Costa County, California. Her will left the ranch in Brentwood, valued at $1000, to be divided among her 6 surviving children.

Remarks: additional information available from AIGS

The following information came from a decendant: Sharon Randall James' middle name was Edwin and he migrated to Australia on the ship "Panama" in 1854, assisted passage, which means that he was subsidized by the Australian Government. It seems there was a Caroline Randall on the same ship with James. Who was she? a relative?

James Randall married Ellen Moroney Corcoran, a catholic Irish widow who had a farm near Ballarat. (which is a large gold-mining area.) They had 6 children, but it was a rocky union and eventually they split up with James going to live with his son and Ellen stayed on the farm until eventually living with her son. The marriage certificate states that James parents were Thomas Randall and Elizabeth Benfield.

In an email, 12 Mar 2010, Sharon stated, "I believe that the Randalls originally came from a village called Mere near Warminster and Salisbury. I spent about 6 months living in Salisbury in my 20's but unfortunatley didn't realise I was on 'home turf'. I am planning a visit to the UK next year and can't wait to get the camera snapping."

On 22 Jan 2005, Sharon wrote:
" As I previously mentioned the butchering line has gone right through our family line in Australia (except for Dad). His father was a butcher by trade but insisted that all of his family (7 boys and 1 girl) had a decent education. Unfortunately for Dad, his oldest brother, (Dad is the second son), decided he wanted to be a priest which cut short dad's education by a couple of years. He is a brilliant man and would have made a fabulous lawyer, which is what he wanted but instead he joined the regular army, fought during WW2 and when he married, bought a grocery shop business in an affluent suburb in Melbourne. He is a self-made man, bought a liquor licence for the shop in the early 1960's, and went on to buy a lot of real estate and retired when he was only in his early 50's due to ill health. We have been lucky that Dad has been around for as long as he has! " ( Her dad was 88 in 2005 and in poor health from cancer.)

Sharon lives on a farm in the country in Victoria and her folks live about 1 1/2 hours away.

Walter Winner Collis and Laura Susan Grigsby were married 4 Oct 1893 in Brentwood, Contra Costa County, California. They met in Brentwood where their parents had adjoining farms. Her wedding veil was adorned with live orange blossoms. They were the parents of 6 children; Hazel, Ernest (known as Russell), Gladyce, Winner, Arthur, and Edgar. Five of the children lived to adulthood. Arthur died as a young child. They lived in Brentwood behind Walter's blacksmith shop later moving to Colfax, Washington, then back again to Brentwood.

Laura was born 2 Jul 1866 in Napa County where her parents had met and married. She was the oldest of 4 children, all of which attended school in Brentwood, California. Her father was a successful farmer there. Her mother was often ill, and many times Laura stayed home from school to care for her mother. She was an accomplished piano and organ player. When her husband died, Laura moved to Oregon to be with her son, Winner, but was soon retrieved by her daughter, Gladyce, who brought her to live her last days in Sacramento. Laura died in 1940 at the age of 74 from heart disease.

Walter Winner Collis was born 14 Sept 1868 at 130 Berry Street, San Francisco, California, Walter was the 8th of 10 children born to William and Ann (Randall) Collis of England. William Collis, is listed in the 1868-1874 San Francisco directory as having a saloon and residence at that address. It is reputed to have been nice real estate at that time. In the 1888 San Francisco directory, Walter was listed as a lamplighter and trimmer for The Cal Electric Light Co. in San Francisco, living at 1517 Vallejo Street. (is this our Walter Collis?) Before the turn of the century he was a grain farmer in Brentwood, Contra Costa County, California. My father, Russell Collis, said that farming was never his best occupation. In 1902, he is listed as a blacksmith living at 4164 17th Street in San Francisco. He shod horses for the San Francisco Streetcars. In 1906, during the earthquake, he and his family were living behind the blacksmith shop in Brentwood, California. He later worked for the Holt Harvestor Company as a traveling salesman, demonstrating and selling equipment. His family was living in Berkeley during that time. He was sent to Washington State and was there in 1907, when his son, Arthur, choked to death. Aunt Gladyce remembers the body lying in the living room for about one week while they waited for Dad to return for the funeral. Two weeks after Arthur's death, Laura gave birth to her sixth child, Edgar. The family moved to Diamond, Washington and in the 1910 census he is listed again as a blacksmith in his own shop.

The following information was told to me by Russell Collis in January of 1976.
"In 1910 the family (Walter Winner's family) moved to Diamond, Washington. Walter worked in a blacksmith shop there. In 1918, Walter inherited $700 from his mother. He took Laura, Edgar, a cow and the furniture on a freight train back to Brentwood to 40 acres of property left to Laura by her father, Erasmus Grigsby. Walter nearly died of the flu. Gladyce and Hazel had both married in Washington. Russell and Winner both stayed to work."
"In 1923 Walter, Laura and Edgar returned to Washington for Bertha and Russell's wedding and then went on to Wenatchee, Washington, to pick apples. Walter fell off the ladder onto his back. He later developed kidney and bladder problems attributed to the fall. They called it cancer. It was hardening of the bladder. The bladder was like granite inside and they would chip it off in chips. Walter was never really well after that. Doctor Regen and Doctor Reynolds at the University hospital in San Francisco wanted to operate. The cost of $150, Walter felt was too high and the county owed him something after all these years. He went to the County Hospital in Martinez. It didn't help and when he went back to University Hospital, it was too late. He died there in 1930 at age 61.

He left the farm in debt and it was taken over by the bank shortly after his death. Farming was not his best interest." "Walter played the coronet well and he played any kind of brass instrument. He played in the band in Diamond for a while. He also played the mouth organ well. He had a short leg and walked with a limp, but he was a very strong, husky man. He could pick up a one hundred-fifty pound anvil by the horn and hold it straight out at arm's length. He also was an expert swimmer and at one time made a wager he could swim the river from Brentwood to San Francisco Bay. No one took him up on it so he didn't swim it."

MEMORIES OF Walter Winner Collis by Grandson, WALTER LEROY COLLIS
(as told to Marilyn Parker, June 4, 1988)

I remember little of the ranch in Brentwood; just going through the orchard between Grandma Collis' and our little shack, Grandpa sitting in the rocking chair on the porch with tears rolling down his cheeks because he hurt so bad. Yet Grandpa always had time to play with me. Whenever I'd come, he'd hold me on his lap.

I can remember Grandma chasing him around, telling him, "Walter! do this." Boy! He'd move. She was just a little tiny squirt. We used to gather around the piano and sing the old traditional stuff on Christmas Eve. Money was tight so we would go out and cut down a tree whether it was pine or whatever, and decorate it with homemade decorations. I remember stringing popcorn, making chains and paper decorations.

Grandpa Collis was a big man, religious, a blacksmith, 6 feet 1 inch on one foot and 6 feet 2 inches on the other; A big man with big arms. He wouldn't hurt a fly. He fell across a ladder picking fruit and developed cancer of the bladder.

From the dawn of the Iron Age through the 19th century, the blacksmith trade grew in demand and became increasingly specialized in the process. America would not even exist were it not for the smithy. Indeed, civilization itself is indebted to the blacksmith for virtually all material innovation up to the advent of the factory floor. The importance of the blacksmith cannot be overstated. But then, something happened: machines.
The smithy trade began to decline in the mid-19th century, as machines began to produce items that were formerly made by the blacksmith. At first it was the simple things: nails, hooks, fence rods. In time, more complex products were machine-crafted, such as hinges and barbed wire. The smithy simply couldn't compete with the economics of machine-crafted implements, a phenomenon that soon gave rise to a virtuous cycle of machine-dominance in the production of most material goods. What the machines didn't take from the smithy was soon eaten by other competitive innovations and historical events:
Ransom E. Olds' re-introduction of the assembly line (circa 1901) to meet demand for the new "horseless carriage" meant the smithy's skill in shaping iron rims for wheelwrights was rendered superfluous to transportation needs.
Soon thereafter, the extensive adoption of large open-geared tractors negatively impacted demand for simply farm tools, horse shoes, and other finely crafted items previously considered agricultural necessities.
The Great Depression killed a last bastion of the blacksmith market niche when architectural ironwork became a symbol of a luxury-laden bygone age. In a matter of less than 100 years after Longfellow's poem was published, the vital trade of smithy was all but dead.
