Find Ancestors

I would appreciate if you could possibly help me to find out about the Puncher family as I seem to be related to them but cannot find out if these people are related to me Cyril F Puncher b.1903 Poplar London he married Clarice E Leighton b. c 1904 London or Essex they were married O/N/D 1934 Wandsworth London, Cyril's father was William Charles Puncher b.14/11/1874 Poplar London, he married Elizabeth Emma Bruce b.1876 Poplar London, they were married J/F/M 1901 Hackney London. I also believe that Walter Charles Puncher's father was James John Puncher b. c.1842 London and he married Sarah M Staples b.c 1843 London and they were married J/F/M 1867 Shoreditch London. I have been trying to find out about this family for a few weeks but do not seem to get anywhere so please could you help me if possible.
Thank you

Thank you for your help regarding the Puncher family. The strange thing is that I did have some Punchers in my tree which I had put down a few years ago. However it only came to my mind that I had a friend called Norma I Puncher b.1935 Maldon Essex and her father was Cyril Frederick Puncher b.1903 Bow (Poplar) London and mother was Clarice E Leighton b. 1911 West Ham London or Essex. They were married in 1934 Wandsworth but did move to Hitchin Hertfordshire where I was also brought up. I have mentioned this to Norma but she does not seem to know much about the ancestors. What I am trying to find out if there are any connections between Cyril Frederick Puncher and the other Puncher's I have in my tree as so far I cannot find any and it would be great if we were related Norma and myself. I have noticed that a few of the Puncher's come from Essex or East London Bow, Poplar and Stepney. It does appear that I am related to the Puncher's that I have on my tree so that is what I am trying to find out about Cyril Frederick Puncher b.1903 and his parents were Walter Charles Puncher b.1874 Poplar London and his wife was Elizabeth Emma Bruce b.1876 Poplar London and they were married 1901 J/F/M Hackney London. I believe Walter's father was James John Puncher b.1847 London and mother was Sarah M Staples b. abt 1847 London and were married J/F/M 1867 Shoreditch London.
Many thanks for your help and have a nice Christmas
