My GGG Grandfather James Challenor was baptised 1788 in Holt,
Denbighshire (according to census entries), and someone very kindly
checked out the parish registers for me and found the following
entry:
Chalenor"(Posnit)James,base son of;Thos Posnit and Frances
"Chalenor".Baptised May 17th 1789.
I would be grateful if anyone who has access to any Denbighshire
records could check out the parents for me please. Any information
whatsoever would be most gratefully received.
POSNIT is either a very rare surname which has now become extinct or
possibly a corruption of another surname.
There is only one POSNIT (below) listed in the FreeBMD database of
the GRO BMD indexes for the period 1837 to 1900.
Marriages Dec 1846
