Samuel Christy-Miller

Samuel Christy-Miller, originally Samuel Christy and from 1862 by royal licence actually Samuel Christie Miller [1] (1810–1889) was an English businessman and politician, from 1847 to 1859 one of the two members of parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme, elected as a Peelite.

He was the second son of Thomas Christy of Essex, eldest son of Miller Christy, and Rebecca Hawlings.

[1][2] He became a partner in the hat-making firm Christy & Co.[3] Christy was related, though distantly, to William Henry Miller, who died in 1848.

He inherited indirectly from Miller an estate, and a noted library, in 1852.

Miller had been Member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Christy-Miller also stood successfully for that constituency.
