She was the niece of Commodore Christian ('HMS Owen Glendower',
a 42 gun frigate) who, together with Commodore Joseph Nourse, had been sent out
to the Cape to intercept the slave traders in South African waters in the early
1800's. One anecdotal version of their arrival in South Africa claims they
were so impressed by the country they decided to settle there.
She was second cousin to Fletcher Christian of 'HMS Bounty' mutiny.

From Jeff Wilde:
Hello Rob
I was checking your Genealogy page and found a connection to Henry Nourse, who
married Dorothy Christian September 6, 1804 St. Michael's Workington, Cumberland.
I don't know if you are interested in this family but I have added an outline
below. I have a lot more on the Christian family if you are interested.
Direct Lineage:
William MacChrystyn to Dorothy Christian
Best wishes,
Jeff Wilde
