The word is ending in a because the child is female I think.

Whoever wrote the register was using the important words in original Latin forms which would have altered to match gender.

Richard, my Latin is limited to say the least but I would say yes, the child died after the Father's death.

I would have expected the word to be posthumous but I would imagine that it means the same and that the child was born after Richard died.

While searching parish records for an appropriate baptism i came across a possible, but it stated the following.

Ann harding c17.9.1682 postima daughter of robert.
Does postima mean that her father died before she was born as there is death of a robert harding one month before her baptism.
