First cousin of Laurence Collins and of Mary Collins.

Through his mother Maria Collins Danny Con was descended from Daniel Collins of Cullomane East, in turn the son of Larr Collins (d. 1867) of Adrigole. Danny Con's father was Cornelius Collins of Knockgorm. The Knockgorm family suffered a devastating blow when son Michael was killed while trying to stop an argument in Castletownbere in June 1905.

Danny Con married a local girl Hannah McCarthy. Their daughter Mary Therese became a local celebrity of sorts. During her short life she was known for being a saintly girl. Her body was dug up 50 years after her burial and found to be uncorrupt.
