Several of my family came into St. Christopher's from England.  (1635) per The Complete book of Emigrants.     My question is:   Where is St. Christopher's ?

Which country are you looking for St. Christopher's in?

This one's in the Barbadoes

(The date is Jan 1634/5)

No actually I think it says "and the Barbadoes".
It's St Kitts !

it may be what was known as St Christopher's island, now a part of Saint Kitts and Nevis, a group of islands in the Caribbean.

Thanks to everyone answering.   I've had it show up on several family members with no further information on some and West Indies (after) on others.    I looked on a map of the West Indies and no St. Christopher's showed and doing a general search of St. Christopher's showed churches, etc but nothing saying St. Kitts.  

Now....back to research and more maps !  

THANK YOU ALL !
