Adeline Marty added (April 2011): "... the photo of the Collins family from Beloit Wisconsin was of Jack, Agnes and Mabel Collins. It was their parents who emigrated to U.S. in 1869 and 1870.

Their mother, Jane Smith Collins, was the daughter of Richard and Mary Smith and was born Dec.6 1848 in Hillersland, Gloucestershire. Jack Agnes and Mabel were my daughter Jane's great uncle and aunts. We were thrilled to find the photo and Lodge. We assume John and Jane Smith Collins worked at the Lodge in some capacity".

Janet Evans added (August 2012): "... I have a number of old pictures that may be of interest to Jane Smith the person who posted this photo of Mailscot Lodge. I would like to get in touch with her to see if she would recognize any of them. I am the grand-niece of Adeline Marty who commented on the photo last year".
