I found this by chance,  can anyone find more.

Found what?

Wow, comes up on Ancestry;
poonami, Merionethshire, Wales in search bar.

Cant see anything else though.

I thought it was a nappy explosion

So did I, Trish 

The nearest place that I can find is Poonamallee, Tamil Nadu, India

It's probably a wrong spelling of a place in Merionethshire but so far I can't see anything like it

I edited it and now can't find the original entry.
It's in Pennall if you want to try.
 James. No surname.
Of Poonam. 
It's a baptism in 1899. No surname.

May be best if you locate whatever it is then post details properly so we know what's what

This is what's written in the register

James was baptised on the 3rd Dec 1899, The snip  that I;ve put up is under the parents names and the abode is Fron deg, Pennal

PS -Welsh newspapers might have a report.

So Poonam was his adoptive father - not a place?
