Find Ancestors

As you have not said who these punchers are that are in your tree, it makes it almost impossible to find out if there is any connection with this family

Hi I have been going through my GR tree to find out more about the Puncher family and have come across a Puncher in this tree as follows:

John Osband Ott b 1801 Bermondsey London married Anne Desmoulins b. 1804 St Giles Middlesex and they had 11 children to whom one was Sarah Elizabeth Ott b.1830 Rotherhithe and she married Benjamin Acton Wood b.1833 Bermondsey and they had 5 children to whom one was Martha Elizabeth Acton Wood b.1865 Rotherhithe and she married David Peggs b.1855 Chelmsford Essex and had 8 children to one was Alfred Daniel Peggs b.1889 Rotherhithe and he married Lillian Ivy V PUNCHER B.1890 Upton Park Essex and they had 2 girls and 1 boy. I always had agt the back of my mind that Lillian Puncher was related to me as well as the others but I still cannot find any connection with Cyril Frederick Puncher b.1903 Poplar London and his father who was Walter Charles Puncher b.1874 Poplar London.

Sorry I didn't finish this properly as pressed the button by mistake. I would be grateful if you could confirm this and many thanks for your help.

Glad you got back to us Effie

The best way to find connections (if any) is to start by researching the name you are sure of

This may be her in 1891, but I think you'd need to get a copy of her marriage cert to confirm her father's details

As the father was born in Suffolk, it may be that any connection with the other Punchers is quite remote, especially as the father of Walter C ( born c1874) was born in Buckinghamshire

Can I ask you to confirm that you have proved a connection between yourself and the tree you quote in your last post?

If not, it would be better to do so first, before looking at people who married into that extended family

Sorry, Effie, only just noticed your post at the bottom of page one.

So you are trying to establish a connection with a friend from your childhood who was Puncher at birth...........

Wouldn't that be nice, if you could..............

Well I have been doing some research on the Puncher family
and I descend from Sarah Elizabeth Ott b.1830 Rotherhithe London and she married Benjamin Acton Wood b.1833 Bermondsey and they had 7 children to whom one was Martha E Wood b.1865 Rotherhithe London and she married David Peggs b.1855 Chelmsford Essex and one of their sons Alfred D Peggs b.1889 Rotherhithe London married Lilian Ivy V Puncher b.1890 Upton Park Essex. Lilian's father was William F Puncher b.1846 Lowestoft Suffolk and mother was Sarah Hannah Poore b.1852 Middlesex. They are all related to me as Sarah E Ott was my 2nd cousin 4x removed. The reason why I was researching them was because I had a friend where I used to live and her name was Norma I Puncher
b.1935 Malden Essex and her parents were Cyril F Puncher b.1903 Poplar London and mother was Clarice E Leighton b.about 1909 (not sure) London or Essex and they married at O/N/D 1934 Wandsworth London. I believe Cyril's father was Walter Charles Puncher b.1874 Bow (Poplar) London and wife was Elizabeth E Bruce b.1876 Poplar London and were married at J/F/M 1901 Hackney London. I have had some of the Puncher's on my tree for a few years but it was only recently that I took it seriously that I wondered if Nortma's parents were related to them especially as they come from the same area but I cannot seem to find if they are so perhaps you would be good enough to let me know if they are related please.
Thank you
Regards
Effie Lewis (nee Ott)

Please do look carefully at all of the info posted and take note of the locations of the births of the Punchers, and then see if you think there is any connection whatsoever.

Thank you Jacqueline, am still trying to find out more about Cyril Frederick Puncher b. 1903 Poplar and his wife Clarice E
Leighton b. 1911 West Ham London. They were married at Wandsworth London O/N/D 1934 also Cyril's father who was Walter Charles Puncher b.1874 Bow London and his wife was Elizabeth Emma Bruce b.1876 Poplar London they were married at Hackney London J/F/M 1901. Cyril Puncher b.1903 Poplar London had two brothers who were Leonard Charles Puncher b.1901 Chelmsford Essex and Harold A Puncher b.1906 Poplar London d.1953 Romford Essex. Cyril Puncher also died 1993 Chelmsford Essex if that is any help.Thank you
Regards

ON 24th DEC you wrote that you believed Walther's father was James.

You now say you think it was Francis.........why?

You really do need to take note of everything people find for you.......................it is disheartening when you don't appear to
