Looks like Christina is living in Hotham, Melbourne.
I found a lot of my Melbourne ancestors also being described as living in "Hotham", Mark.

FInally sorted the Allens out.
James Allen was a "Particular Baptist" Minister and missionary.
His wife travelled with him and they had children in Ceylon, India and the UK.
Once I found out who was sponsoring him as a missionary in Ceylon the rest was easy because they kept excellent records.
His children ended up all over the globe including James Stephen in Australia, some in India, a couple in the U.S.A and others in the UK.
Jane Whittard, Jame Stephen Allen's wife, is a member of the "Whittard Of Chelsea" family who own about 100 tearooms around the world.
