Born 1856 in Andreas Isle of Man.
I have found him on the 1911 Census living with his wife,Annie and son,Francis, born Ramsey IOM 1880. They were living at 10, Sykes Street, Everton.Both men were working at Lunts Bakery. Does anyone have any further niformation on this family and what happened next? I have lost the strand after this.

Hi,
This is the only death of a Benjamin Christian in England up to 1956, 100 years after his birth that could be your man. The age at death is slightly out but that is quite common. The informant would often have to take a best guess as to the deceased's age. The cert would tell you his home address, where he died, who the informant was, their address and relationship to Benjamin.

Death: CHRISTIAN, Benjamin
Registration district: West Derby, Lancashire
Year/qtr of registration: 1918 / Jul-Aug-Sep
Age at death: 60
Volume no: 8B; Page no: 420.

This is the only death for his son Francis I could find in England:
CHRISTIAN, Francis
Registration district: Liverpool North.
Year/qtr of registration: 1948 / Apr-May-Jun
Age at death: 67

There's a marriage for a Francis, a bit late, but you never know. Did he marry a cousin or an in-law?
Francis Christian married Alice Christian
Registration district: Liverpool North
Year/qtr of registration: 1945 / Jan-Feb-Mar
Volume no: 8B; Page no: 858

A death for Annie? The age is spot on.
