There are four marriages registered for Christopher J A Lewis between 1972 and 1999:

Last name  First name(s)      Year   Location                    Spouse
Lewis      Christopher J A    1972   Westminster, London         Caroline S Dyson
Lewis      Christopher J A    1986   Wycombe, Buckinghamshire    Karen J Ellis
Lewis      Christopher J A    1999   West Devon, Devon           Dee Morgan
Lewis      Christopher J A N  1991   Romsey, Hampshire           Deborah S Collins

Burke’s peerage reports for Christopher: “Christopher Julian Arden [Christopher Lewis Esq, Lone Barn, E Garston, Berks RG17 7EU]; b 1941; m 1972 Caroline Dyson”.  So the first in the above list confirms this report.

Did they have any children?

There were three Lewises born in Mancester over 20 years from early 1970s.  But they had the surname of Taylor-Lewis.  This led to finding that there were six marriages of Lewis and Dyson of which one had a Gary Taylor-Lewis as the groom.  So I am reasonably certain that all these Lewis births in the Manchester area had Gary as their father and NOT this Christopher Julian Arden.

So I am concluding that Christopher and Caroline did not have any children.

The next step was to see if he could be found on the electoral rolls and was there anyone with him.

One possibility was Lamburt House, Stowey Road, Taunton which was occupied in 2002-3 by :
  Chris J A Lewis,
  Rodger Colquhoun,
  Dee Lewis
which makes me wonder if she might not be the Dee Morgan of the third marriage above?

However in another electoral roll series Caroline Lewes and Christopher J A Lewis occupied a house in Hungerford from 2002 to 2021.
