    Notes 
    • From 1868 until his departure for the U.S., Richard ran the Lannock Mill in Weston, North Hertfordshire, that had been built by his father in 1860. This five-storey tower windmill ground corn and had four pairs of millstones. The mill tower still stands but without its wind engine or any of its other machinery. It was last used as a production mill in the 1920s. In 1882, Richard sold the mill to Thomas Sanderson.

      He and his family arrived in the U.S. in New York City on 20 February 1882 aboard the SS City of Montreal. The family traveled in a cabin, not in steerage. The family consisted of: Richard Christy, 39, Sarah Christy, 36, Susan Christy, 74, Susan Christy, 16, Lottie Christy, 15, Charles Christy, 14, Glyn Christy, 12, Florence Christy, 11, Alma Christy, 10, Ernest Christy, 9, Eleanor Christy, 8, Bernard Christy, 6, Ethel Christy, 4, and George Christy, 2.

      In the 1885 Minnesota census, the Christys (indexed as Christa) were living in Minneapolis. Richard’s mother Sara, age 76, is living with them.

      In the 1895 Minnesota census, he and his family were living in Worthington, Minnesota, where he was a baker. Still at home with him and Emma were Ernest, 20, Bernard, 16, Ethel, 14, and George, 13.

      In the 1900 census, he was a salesman living in Minneapolis with his wife, son, and granddaughter. The household consisted of Richard, Emma, Bernard B., and granddaughter Fannie Simpson born in April of 1892 in Minnesota with an Irish father.
