Perhaps Edward Christie baptised 1783 son of James Christie DNB 1730-1803 auctioneer and his wife Isabella (nee Chapman married 14.6.1772 St James Piccadilly). If so he was a young man of only 16 or so at the first entry. According to H G Marillier, Christie's 1766-1925 p 17, Edward Christie became a midshipman and died at Port Royal in 1821. It would have been consistent for Godwin to use just her initial for a woman and I've noted a number of female E Christie wills in the work notes below. R Christie above in 1801 should probably be coded to Rebecca Christie (widow of Thomas Christie DNB 1761-1796). She has a person record on GD website and was generally referred to by Godwin as mrs Christie. Thomas Christie had brothers and sisters but none whose first name began with E
