Re: John Crow/Eliz. Christian m. 1787

Hi Nigel & Diane,
I was thrilled to stumble on your thread with all it's wonderfull information.
I believe I am related because of the following: Rebecca Crow - Corkill - Christian as you say married William Christian. They had a least one child, John Frank Christian b. Douglas 16/5/1842.
Christian (female) - Crow - Corkhill married a Thomas Cowin and had at least one child, Eliza Mary Christian b. 1863, Douglas.
John Christian married Eliza Cowin, 7/10/1885 in Dunedin, New Zealand. They had 4 sons, one of which was John White Christian b. 1903. Dunedin, New Zealand. He married a Doreen de Clifford. They had a daughter, Elaine Dawn Christian and a son, David James Christian b. 1938 - me. I am now trying to obtain information on William Christian who you have indicated was 20 years older than Rebecca. This could indicate a birth of about 1782.
I realise the thread stopped on 9/12/2003 - but you never know - I may get lucky.
Sincerely David James Christian Auckland New Zealand - david.christian@clear.net.nz
