Christopher's sister, Julia, took care of his children each day while he would work or search for work. He would give his sister Julia, a small amount of money each day to feed the children.

As per my mother, my great grandmother, Julia, couldn't believe she was able to feed the children on the small amount of money she got, but she did.

(This info came from my grandmother Helen, Christopher's neice and daughter of Julia).
