Note: No death or burial record has been found for Christopher, but his will was proved in Alford in 1633, and his oldest son lived in Alford, and it is highly likely that Christopher died and was buried here. His birth year is a close approximation.

Christopher moved around Lincolnshire much of his life, and his eight children were baptized in five different parishes.
