Christle Family
« on: Wednesday 03 September 08 17:13 BST (UK) »
Hi,

I'm a relative novice at this genealogy business, but I have managed to trace back on my mother's side (through searching census records), her Irish Grandfather, Thomas Christle. I know that he came to Manchester from Ireland with his wife Jane (nee Smith) and died in 1892 in Gorton, and I also know he was probably born circa 1856 in Offaly (king's) county. But that's it! I've no idea which part of Offaly he came from, or whether there are still Christle's living there - it's not a common Irish name and doesn't show up in any Irish genealogy book I've seen. If anyone could help I'd be eternally grateful.

Cheers,

Mike Smith

Welcome to Rootschat.
There's one entry in Griffith's Valuation in King's Co. for a Thomas Christle but you would be wise to check other spelling variations as well.

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!

Hi Mike,I also notice from the same place where Thomas Christle is mention in Griffith's Valuation -Kilconfert-Killoneen,there is also a Smyth ,if Thomas & Jane married in Ireland maybe worth checking around to see if Jane came from this family,Regards Nipy

Hello once more,I see from the 1881 census that Thomas & Jane did both come from Kings County & they were both  listed as the same age 26yrs,they were living at 4, Potting St, Manchester ,with their two children Elizabeth 3yrs & Mary 1yrs,you may already know all this but just in case you don't.Regards Nipy

Hi, the Christle name originates from Daingean, County offaly.Being brief I believe the name was originally Spanish!and probably Criostabal, Cristebal or something similar.It dates back to the Spanish Armada which was wrecked off the west coast of ireland in 1588.The survivors would have headed to the only place in ireland they knew of, Philipstown(after king philip 2nd the then king of spain), which had its name changed to Daingean in 1922.As most of the shipwrecked survivors were killed as they made land, it would not have been a good idea to hang on to the spanish surname!
