NOTE: All four (4) Carroll sisters, as well as the spouses of the two married sisters, are buried in the same cemetery: Sunset View Mortuary and Cemetery in El Cerrito, CA (formerly known as Albany). 

NOTE: The connection between the Christies and the Carrolls is that Cecelia Christie Carroll, mother of Jack, Bill, May, Fanny, Primrose Perrott and Agnes Weir was a sister of John Christie, father of Dave, May, Minnie & Eva Calwell who's daughter Jean Calwell was in the work in Ireland/England.  So Jack Carroll and his siblings were first cousins of Dave Christie and his siblings, making Primrose & Gladys Weir first cousins once removed through their mother, Agnes Carroll Weir. The Christies and Weirs are only related to one another through their marriages to Carrolls.  

Quote from Jean Calwell (Ireland) at Santee #2 California conv. (year?) “My Mother (Eva Christie) left her home at 16 years of age and went to work at the store of Jack Carroll. She was invited to the meetings. After attending several meetings her father moved to another part which separated her from contact with the friends and meetings. At the age of 19 Mother married and moved away from home. The servants of God remembered her, looked her up and took her to her first convention. After mother made her choice she received much opposition from the family. My father emigrated to Canada in an attempt to escape the truth. Father made his choice later. I made my choice at the age of 12.”

Dave Christie Sr.was born in County Donegal, Ireland. He married Emily Wilson in 1923, who was born in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. They pioneered the work in Hawaii; had 2 children. Jack Carroll's Announcement of Christie Marriage
