Hi Everyone,

So researching my fathers line and have already hit a wall with his Grandfather Henry Christie. My father was Derek Thomas Christie and his father Leonard Talbot Christie. Leonard married Ada Eveline Tite and they had three children Reginal, Henry and Derek. I have a 1911 census with Henry A Christie and Florrie (Burke) and the three children Doris, Reg and Leonard. When trying to look back I have Henry A on this census stating he was born in Glasgow Henry I found was Henry F Christie with Mother Helen and John as the father. I have also had information of a Henry Christie born in Southwark with a brother Charles and mother Elizabeth A.
Many Thanks to all of you who have replied so far and hope this updated information can prove a little more useful.

Kind Regards,

Shirley~I,m getting the hang of it

Your info is confusing

Are you saying your father is Derek Thomas or Derek Thomas Christie

His father is Leonard Talbot. Or Leonard Talbot Christie

So the marriage cert should give his age and fathers name

His birth should be on Scotlands People which is a subs site

The 1901 census which Ancestry suggests is for Henry isn't the same person, unless he changed his middle name.

Ancestry suggests a Henry Christie (no middle initial) living in Dennistoun area of Glasgow with parents John & Helen.
However, in 1891 he's shown with middle initial F, which matches with an 1875 birth in Dennistoun.

What is the alternative "information" you have, Derek?

Perhaps he lied about his birthplace for some reason?

You do need his marriage cert to see his father's name.


EDIT:
Oh, I see you've updated your opening post.

I think it's safe to say that Henry F with parents Helen and John is not the one you're looking for.
