Re: William Christian 1904
In Response To: William Christian 1904 ()

Tom,

Your William Christian of 1904 is of possible interest. ALthouhg my own family had diverged from the Chrsitian line about fifty years before that he may be the brother of the Christian girl we are descended from. If so he lived at Ballakey, Bride and died on 7 Jan 1904 aged 82; His wife was Margaret who was born in 1833 and died 3 July 1887. The 1881 census for this family shows William Christian and Margaret and the following children

William 23
Isabella 19
Thomas 17
Margaret 15
Eliza 14
Edward 9
Arthur 8
Ellen 6
Catherine 4

If this conforms to the family you have found then a copy of the will would be of great interest.
