Hello Colin I don't have any information myself, but more can very likely be obtained from archives@southampton.gov.uk and from local.studies@southampton.gov.uk by e-mailing them and asking pertinent questions. The 1851 census (indexed) would seem a good place to start. If they were in the vicinity you will be able to find their ages and birthplaces. The local studies library has transcripts of Southampton baptisms etc up to 1837, in which the CHRISTOPHERs may appear.
