Title: Jusnep etc surname puzzle
Post by: Davedrave on Wednesday 21 December 22 13:59 GMT (UK)
There is a small number of individuals, male and female, with the surname Jusnep/Jusnip, who were baptised in Mancetter, Warwickshire, in the late Seventeenth Century. A couple of them married but none of them seems to have been buried with this surname (no males or females). There seem to be a very few Jusnips in Lancashire in the Nineteenth Century and a very few Jusnap marriages in early Eighteenth Century Kent (no baptisms). Any suggestions to account for these odd occurrences of these names? (I’ve tried searching for spelling that might sound similar, but without success.)

There are a handful of Dewsnap baptisms and burials in Mancetter in the 1600s, could that be a variant?

Good thinking. There are certainly far more of them in the records across the country.
