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. At that point he changed surname to Christy-Miller. Miller had been Member of Parliament for Newcastle-under-Lyme, and Christy-Miller also stood successfully for that constituency. He was a Peelite.
