_________________________________________________________

FreeBMD has but one Ernest who was born in 1851-1859 in Kent:

Collard, Ernest, Q1 of 1856, Blean district, vol 2a, p. 566

Blean includes Herne Bay and Hillborough is a small village outside Herne Bay.  It must be he.

FreeBMD has an Ernest Collard who d. 1918 aged 62 but in Steyning, Sussex so not very probably his death.

Oct 2007, TFPL: Dunno why I made the last remark as his death in 1918 aged 62 precisely matches his birth in 1856, so I think it is him and have entered it accordingly.
