I have an Ann Christian in my ancestral line who married William Mcylrea 14 Dec 1645 Both from the North, Ann from Jurby and William from Ballaugh.

Ann was sister to Thomas Christian. He was married to Jane Garrett als Parr. Robert Parr rector of Ballaugh
being her father.

That being aside what I am interested in is the parentage of Thomas and Ann Christian. Other siblings may have been, Donald, Patrick, Jony, Ewan, Capt John Christian, William Christian. Are they from the Christian's of Ballamore, Ballaugh? If so are they related to the Christian's of Milntown and if so how?

I had a look at the Manx note book and couldn't see reference to Donald Christian but maybe I missed somethings, if so please correct me and I will go back and search again.

I think Ann and Thomas's father was Do Christian bn
about 1580, this from the IGI which I have come to realise is sometimes a best, if not always a helpful guess. I wonder though if this Donald might have been the son of Donald Christian who was an MHK from 1583-1600 he would have been bn about 1530 again according to a dubious IGI ref. I have all this in my notes but I foolishly made no indication of where I got this from and now when I have returned to this family link for further research I am some what stumped, confused and frustrated as to how I ended up with this Donald Christian.

Again, can anyone help or point me in a direction to go.

Many thanks
