He was the grandson of Fletcher Christian and son of Thursday October Christian, and mother, Teraura. He was also known as "Doctor", "Duddie" or "Doodie". He spent several years on Norfolk Island but returned to Pitcairn in 1864. Christian was three quarters Polynesian.

Everyone named Christian on Pitcairn is descended from him; a number of family branches, however, left Pitcairn permanently and settled on Norfolk Island. He married Mary Young, granddaughter of Ned Young, on 24 March 1839. They had 17 children, none of them named as a month name or week day. Seven died as children and three lived past the age of 73.
