Glamorganshire / Christophers of Llantrithyd

« on: Thursday 09 July 09 20:12 BST (UK) »

Hi,

Can anybody help us with the following query -

During our search for relatives we have come across the Christopher's from Llantrithyd in the Vale of Glamorgan. We have managed to find Parish records which take this family back as far as John Christopher who died February 1716. John married three times - Mary, Jennet John and Joan Dyer and had numerous children, including Morgan Christopher (b. 1685 - son of Jennet John). We are stuck however trying to locate the Christopher family further back than this, we are not sure whether John Christopher moved to Llantrithyd before marrying, or whether he was not Christened in the Parish Church.

Does anyone know if the Christopher's are from a particular area? Can anyone suggest any means of tracking a family's movements during the c.17th?

Thanks in anticipation,
Dai Thom
