No it's from a trade directory. This is the only reference I have to him. (I'm tracing the history of a building)
Christopher seems likely, thanks everyone. The other names are only abbreviated if they are common names, e.g. Jas. I hadn't even thought of Christopher, my mind was drawing a blank!

In very old documents, e.g. wills Christopher is often shown as Xpofer. It took us a while to work this out until we compared it with Christmas - ofetn written as Xmas.
Just a thought if you haven't come across it before.
