Connection to the Nunn name above on 1939 ??

Malcolm Nunn who has a tree on her with Leslie Christie 1910 and Royston Christie 1915.

Royston Charles Christie 3/1/1915 died 2001.
He married 1936 and had a son and daughter.

Would the Ellen Elizabeth Christie 1876 be Nellie mother of Violet,leslie etc.
Nellie was commonly used for Ellen.

Is this proof of father Henry Alexander Christie 1857 telling lies.


Henry Alexander Christie married Elizabeth Ann Tunstall 6/12/1875 witness Frances James Wheddon and Jane lacey nee Christie!!

Jane Adelaide Christie married Arthur lacey 4/11/1874 witness Elizabeth TUNSTALL.

Frances James Wheddon baptised Bermondsey 27/5/1849 by Jane Adelaide nee Summers and Frances James Wheddon 1823-1854

Jane Adelaide Wheddon married Alexander William Christie
they had Henry Alexander Christie

1901 Jane Christie with son Harry/Henry a widow 39, Francombe Street

looks very interesting Maryb

So Jane Adelaide Summers born c1832 marries Francis Wheddon in 1848, they have a son Francis James in 1849 then Francis snr dies 1854

Jane then marries Alexander Christie in 1856 and has Henry Alexander Christie in 1857.

There is this birth reg:

CHRISTY, JANE ADELAIDE mother's maiden name SUMMERS
GRO Reference: 1854 M Quarter in ROTHERHITHE Volume 01D Page 501


(this looks like the Jane Adelaide Christie who marries Arthur Lacey in 1874, sister of Henry Alexander Christie born 1857 but born before the parents married)

I think that death for Francis Wheddon 1854 is the father to the one who married Jane A Summers..

Francis Wheddon 1800-1854 buried 1/9/1854 of Cherry Garden Street as on 1841 census.

Francis Wheddon born 15/4/1823 Waltamstow to
Francis Wheddon and Susannah Wheddon daughter of James and Mary Whiffen,
Susannah died and was buried 21/5/1845.

1851 18,Cherry Garden Street
Francis JOHNDDON (Wheddon) on original @ 1800 born Exeter.
Jane age 21
Robert
James 1839/40

Jane's husband Francis was a Captain and there is a record on Ancestry.co.uk 12/2/1856 of him receiving The Mates Certificate Liverpool, but I can't see what happened to him after that.His date of birth on that record was 15/4/1823

Henry Alexander Christie,

So I have the marriage certificate for Henry and Florrie who we're married in Greenwich, London. Florrie's father was Abraham Burke a commercial traveller and Henry's father was also Henry Alexander Christie a publican manager. They both lived at Rembrant Road it looks like in Lee. Can't seem to find Henry or his Mother or Henry senior.

Many Thanks,

That is great thank you AustinQ so finally may have found his Mother Ellen also, still finding it hard to locate his birth which according to a 1911 census with Florrie and their 3 children Henry junior states hw was born in Glasgow.

Kind Regards,

Not born Glasgow!

This birth:

CHRISTIE, HENRY ALEXANDER (mother's maiden name: TURNSTALL)
GRO Reference: 1877 J Quarter in SAINT OLAVE SOUTHWARK Volume 01D Page 275

His mother was Elizabeth Turnstall/ Tunstall- Henry Alexander was his father.

His father left Elizabeth sometime before the 1881 census and shacked up with Ellen.

I know it's confusing Derek!

Most the information you need is already in the thread, it's just a little jumbled up.

If you need anything else or want something explaining (I suspect you might with that Christie lot!), just let us know.

I'm sure you could write a book - the stories between Henry A jnr and snr would make a great read :)
