His parents were William Wrangham Collins (1799–1880) and Henrietta Shuckburgh (1799–1861). He was their only child. He received a 'good education'. The family emigrated to Nelson on the ''Pekin'' from London, arriving on 15 January 1850.〔 In his younger years, he excelled in sports.〔 Collins married Catherine Anne Collins (née Isaacson, born c.1834) on 25 September 1855 in Nelson. They had three girls before his wife died on 8 February 1864. On 25 January 1866, he married again—Erica Elspeth Collins (née MacKay, born 25 May 1843). Ten children resulted from this marriage.〔 Sometime in the 1870s, he changed the spelling of his surname to Collyns. His daughter Hilda Reay (born 24 September 1875) was registered as Collins, whilst his son Arthur Wrangham (born 11 January 1878) was registered as Collyns.〔 He represented the electorate from to 1873, when he resigned. He was a Provincialist, but once elected, he changed his mind and became an ardent supporter of the abolition of the provinces.〔 He then represented the Suburbs of Nelson electorate in from 11 January to 8 November, when he retired.〔 Collyns died on 26 September 1911.
