Biography

Marriage
"Yesterday week, at the Parish Church, Blackburn, the Rev. Thomas Rutherford Dickinson, M.A., incumbent of Salesbury, second son of Joseph Dickinson, Esq., of Headingly, Yorkshire, to Christina Bennett, eldest daughter of James Cox, Esq., of Winsham, Somerset."^[1]

Christiana only had one child that I can find recorded - Arthur.

Christiana was a widow by 1871. In 1881 she was living on Spring Road Malta Cottage in Head Hampshire. Her son Arthur was working as an engine fitter and living at home with his wife and two small children.

By 1891 she is living in Portsea with her daughter in law and three of her grandchildren. By 1901 she has moved to Portsmouth. She still has grandchildren living with her. Can find no further record for her after this.^[2]
