I hadn't realised that both of them proposed marriage to different Collingwood sisters, Gnosspelius successfully, AR in vain.
It was a little more complicated than that Peter. Collingwood had 3 daughters Dora, Barbara and Ursula. AR proposed marriage to Dora who refused him and later married Ernest Altounyan, AR then proposed marriage to Barbara who also refused him and later married Oscar Gnosspelius. Ursula was younger and later married a local churchman.
