Edward Christian (1628-1693) was a Deemster of the Isle of Man and the son of Deemster John Christian of Milntown. At the trial of William Christian (Illiam Dhone) in 1662, he refused to participate in proceedings he regarded as unlawful and left for London, where he petitioned the Privy Council on behalf of the Christian family. The Council subsequently ruled the trial unlawful and ordered restitution of Christian's estate.
