Title: Christopher Family, Llantrithyd, Glamorgan
Post by: SuT on Tuesday 02 November 10 23:01 GMT (UK)

I am looking for information on my ancestor Morgan Christopher (wife poss Margaret?) b 1685 and son John Christopher from Llantrithyd.  I have worked out that John was born in 1710 but found a family tree for somebody else who thinks he was born in 1721 and don't know how to find out for sure.  John was married to Jane John b 1725.  Found a website

http://homepages.tesco.net/~christopherfamilyhistory/WALES.htm

but this gives quite a few Morgan Christophers in Llantrithyd as follows:-

Priscilla CHRISTOPHER (F)............. C: 26 Nov 1738
Father: Morgan Christopher Llantrithyd, Glamorgan, Wales
John CHRISTOPHER (M).................. M: 11 May 1739 Llantrithyd Psh., Glamorgan,
Jane CHRISTOPHER (F).................. C: 20 Apr 1740
Father: Morgan Christopher Llantrithyd, Glamorgan, Wales
Elizabeth CHRISTOPHER (F)............. C: 30 Aug 1745
Father: Morgan Christopher Llantrithyd, Glamorgan, Wales
Thomas CHRISTOPHER (M)................ C: 24 Apr 1811
Father: Morgan Christopher Llantrithyd , Glamorgan, Wales
Mother: Ann

and even more in Glamorgan who may be related.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Sue,
I don't know if you have seen this site but it contains The Registers of Llantrithyd Church:- Christenings, 1597-1810; Burials,1781-1810; Marriages 1571-1810.
If you look through this you may find what you are looking for, but it takes a lot of cross checking
