Biography

In 1871, she lived with her husband James in West Garafraxa, Wellington, Ontario, Canada.^[1]

Christian died in 1874 and is buried in Belsyde Cemetery, Fergus, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada.^[2]

Notes

No evidence of Christian and husband William Rettie being married in Scotland, yet. William emigrated to Canada in the mid 1840s and his first child was born in 1856 in Canada, so it seems likely they were married in Canada. Need confirmation.
