Looking for any info on ancestry of William Punchard (my gggggg grandfather), born late 1600s, possibly in Connecticut, married Hannah Brown. They had a daughter, Abigail Punchard (1708-1774), who married Daniel Bradley II in New Haven area.
Thanks,
Dwight Bradley Chugiak, Alaska

Dwight, Since the message I found is now more than a year old I will keep this note brief pending your reply. I have a book on the Punchard family, from which I am also descended, which records the Punchard lineage and includes the two people you mentioned.

Do you have in your book a Phoebe Punchard who was married at Denton, Norfolk, England on 11 October 1791 to James Crowe of Bedingham, Norfolk, England. On that same day, James' sister Susanna married William Puncher (Punchard) at nearby Bedingham. It would seem that brother and sister married brother and sister, but Phoebe does not appear on any list of siblings of William Puncher (Punchard). With the possibility that Phoebe and William could have been cousins instead of brother and sister, I am still searching for proof of her parentage. Any help would be wonderful and greatly appreciated.

My Punchard line descends from William Punchard, born about 1645, probably on the Isle of Jersey, England, and who came to America about 1666, more than 100 years before the events you describe. All of the information I have on his descendant family happens on the North American side of the Atlantic Ocean.

Phoebe Punchard was born approximately 1820, possibly near Lowestoft, Norfolk, England. I think that she was the daughter of William Punchard his wife Mary.
Any ideas?

My Phoebe Punchard married Leonard Lammas and one of their children,Martha, was born in 1844 in Norfolk, England. I also have a marriage certificate for a Phoebe (possibly of the right age) who married William Mobbs. Martha went to New Zealand after her marriage. There is a story that this Lammas family had used a different name in Norfolk. Martha was called Martha Griffen in NZ before she married George Moffitt, or married a second time. I have some census records which appear to relate to these people. Mary

Hi there. I don't have Punchards(so far) in my family but I do have Crowes from Bedingham. I think I noted down this wedding as it seemd to be one of interest
