Marilyn - I do believe we are probably working on the same family. I just don't have much info to go on. The following is all I've been given. This is not one of my family lines. Just trying to find info for a friend.
Christopher (b. 1840s)>Fred (b. abt. 1865?)>Arthur Jacob (1893-1959)>Paul James, Sr. (living)>Paul James, Jr. (living).
The Christopher you're working on who had a brother Fred could have named a son Fred (the one I've mentioned above) after his brother. Does any of this information I mention sound familiar to you? I would appreciate any further info you might have. You can reach me at e-mail address -
