Message Board Post:
Hi, has anyone come across the name Howard-Challis in their research? My (step) father in
law has this surname and hails from Woodford in Essex although it appears that his sister
was simply given the name Challis. Their mother was a Saville from Loughton in Essex and
father was either Howard Howard-Challis or Howard Challis.
Unfortunately both died young so the origins of the surname are somewhat lost to us. The
grandfather was a Sidney Challis who served in the first world war and as well as Howard
there was also a sibling called Brian.
Grateful for any help,
Adam Lighterness
