Hi Mandy,
To move the Collins family further back with any certainty we need to confirm her mother's maiden name as Houghton from Mary Ann's birth certificate tion or baptism.
Birth: COLLINS, Mary Ann
Registration district: Warrington, Lancashire
Year of registration: 1892; Quarter of registration: Jan-Feb-Mar
Volume no: 8C; Page no: 191

If that is confirmed we need the names and occupations of the fathers of both bride and groom from the marriage cert of her parents.
COLLINS, John married HOUGHTON, Alice
Registration district: Warrington, Lancashire
Year of registration: 1883; Quarter of registration: Oct-Nov-Dec
Volume no: 8C; Page no: 286

With regard to the possible Irish connection it must be further back than abt 1855 when Mary Ann's father John was born in or near Warrington. This is the only Warrington registration between 1854 and 1856...
