Knowing that Punchard is a fairly rare name, I started researching in 1995 to update the Rev. E.G. Punchard's 1892 book 'Punchard of Heanton Punchardon - Records of an unfortunate family' (refering to the fact that having once owned land and armorial titles, all have been lost over the years) This gave a good starting point however there were some trees that were incorrect which was misleading for a while! Nonetheless, I can account for most current day Punchard's and Puncher ancestors back to at least early 1800's and some even further. The Rev. E G Punchard (1844-1917) and his two sons were the last of the Punchard's officially able to use the Suffolk coat of arms. Tragically, both Alfred and Edmund gave their lives in the First World War and left no issue. |
