Lol yes it is extremely confusing and he and his father were certainly colourful characters, confusing that Henry put on the census he was born Glasgow.

Really appreciate all your help so far

Regards,

Derek

Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to all who gave some input regarding the information I sought. I have made some great headway with the tree now and made contact with a great uncle which is brilliant.

The `Henry senior and Junior where very colourful gents with junior indeed living two lives and a total of 10 children between the two women.

His father Henry senior had three wives and a number of children lol

Now stuck at William Christie possibly born around 1795 and who was a Master Marriner he is on a wedding certificate as the father of Alexander Christie marrying Jane Adelaide Wheddon maiden name Summers. Alexander was a Fireman and lived at 1 Alfred Street, Stepney, London and Jane lived in the same street. Alexander was 26 when they married and think he was born either 1930 or 1929.

Thank You

I have a copy of the wedding certificate with that information on it, can't find his birth or anything regarding his father William.

Kind Regards,
