Note: In 1841 Christine Mackay was a field servant living on Tysen Street, Islington, Liverpool. After being abandoned by Christopher, Christiana and the 3 boys did not stay in South America long. The death certificate of the second son, Alexander, shows that Christiana must have returned to England with the boys by April 1855. She settled in Ness, a hamlet near Neston in the Wirral to be near the families of her brother, John Mackay, and her married sister, Ann Cabry, where they ran the village pub, the "Wheatsheaf" and a farm. In 1871 Christina resided at 35 Cleveland Street, Toxteth Park, Lancashire with her sons Hugh (Scripture reader) and Christopher (shipping clerk), and a lodger. At the time of her son ChristopherÂ’s marriage in 1876, Christiana lived with him at 50 Dombey Street, Toxteth. In 1881 she was a widow living as a lodger with Elizabeth Hutchins at 35 Clevedon Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool. In 1891 she was a lodger on Parkgate Road, Great Neston, Cheshire.
