Hello Elaine,

Jean found an 1884 marriage between Christian Faith Kelly & John Longford Meller Christian (with a son b.1853?).

"Their son, John Longford Lee Crellen Christian , b. 24 Jul 1853, Peel, was one of six children, two of which were also born on the Isle of Man -Caroline Florence Faith Christian b. 2 Nov 1844 and George Emanuel Christian, b. 23 Feb 1886, although I do not have the specific locations of their births other than the IoM".

Siblings born in 1844 and 1886? Are you writing about children from an earlier marriage for John Longford Meller Christian? Or have I misunderstood what you wrote?

Jean also found an 1884 birth for a Caroline Florence F Christian in Essex.
Whose child was Caroline Florence Faith Christian b. 2 Nov 1844?

Brian Lawson's index had this birth:
John Longfo.... CHRISTIAN 16 Feb 1887 Peel [father] John Lonford Mi.... CHRISTIAN [mother] Christian Faith KELLY.
[Think this would be John Longford Lee Crellin Christian - the cert would give details.]

The IGI has an extracted entry for JOHN LONGFORD MELLER CHRISTIAN Christening 27 JUL 1854 Ballaugh, Isle Of Man, Father: THOMAS PHILIP CHRISTIAN, Mother: JULIA LONGFORD
[Looks familiar - did I write this before on that long Ramsey thread?]
So who was b.24 Jul 1853, Peel?
