I know that Chris came to America in 1880. He arrived with 3 children Alfred, Ernest, and Bertha. Also listed on the passenger list were a Hannah(as his wife) and Ann Cole whom I was always told was his wife. She is listed on the 1880 census as his wife but don't know what happened to Hannah. Christopher had two other chilren Frank and Chistopher. I know that atleast Chris Jr. was a Martha Downes. I don't know if Frank was though. Christopher Sr was killed in a mingin accident in either 1889 or 1890. Christopher Jr. was the youngest child born in Feb 1890 in Missouri or Kansas. Does anyone out there have more iformation? Like who were Christopher's parents and where in England did he come from? Please help. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
