In a step-family connected to me there was a Christiana who was married in 1833 and died in 1847.  Eventually I found she was born on 25 Dec 1802, baptised on the 28th as CRESSEY.  Also, her sister was b/bp on 17/20 April 1800 and named Easter!

A granddaughter of Cressey was named Christiana, but always known as Kitty, to the extent that her probate notice included "Christiana, otherwise Kitty".

Can't really see the point of this post.  You only have to look it up on the BMD index to know it's a surname🙄🙄

I think it is just in the spirit of the season.
I wonder if one of those Christmases from Hampshire wandered over to East Sussex and started a branch there.

We had a Christmas at our school and there are a handful in South Australia descended from John James Christmas and Martha Leak/e starting in the 1860s

On another track I looked up Scrooge and only 1 popped up on FreeBDM and in 1983 of all times

Wouldn't it be dreadful to be called "Noel Christmas"? Imagine all the teasing at School.
