Dear Mr WILBUR 79
i agree with most of what you say, but
when you copy other peoples work you should write it word
for word.(PUNCHARD one name study )(Mrs B E Davies)said
PONCHARD: originating in Bristol circa 1700's this branch
exclusively in Australia, that is correct as 4 convict brothers from Bristol were exported to Australia.Ivy Ponchard was my aunty and Francis (convict)was my great great grandfather.
the way you put it PONCHARD:-Exclusive to Australia puts a different slant on it.Now I am going to give you some true facts that come out of Ancestry's records written docunents from 200 family trees which are all the same these are Sir JOHN PONCHARD (1112-1162)Born and Died Norfolk his father Sir WILLAM 1090 Norfolk and on one record his surname is spelt POUNCHARD and Sir John has a Normandy COA 2 LIONS either side of a red shield with 2 lions on the sheild and he also married a french woman Adelm Burgo Mortaigne Born 1117 France Died NORFOLK.One last fact??if the father and the son were knighted whose court were they in ?? remember John has a french COA one more thing when you write PONCHARD JONING THE LETTERS TOGETHER AND YOU DON'T JOIN THE O PROPERLY ON THE TOP IT BECOMES PUNCHARD PS I HAVE BEEN CALLED PUNCHARD MANY TIMES IN MY LIFE REGARDS DENIS PONCHARD

All, my paternal grandmother, Ivy Isabelle Anne Ponchard.

Her family always said it was French, true sort of, Norman French actually.

Variants

The original Norman name was de Punchardon and this contracted over the centuries to Punchardon, then Punchard. Variations mainly occuring due to dialect pronunciations being recorded in Church Registers and Indexes.

Puncher

Puncherd

Purnchard

Punshard

Ponchard - Exclusive to Australia, Origins Circa 1700's Bristol, England

Origin of the surname

Quoted from 'Records of an unfortunate family' : 'The name of Punchard appears first in England on the Roll of Battle Abbey. Holinshed spells it Punchardoun, Duchesne and Stow as Punchardon and on the Dives Roll it is found as Pontchardon. This last form is the nearest to Pontcardon, a village close to Neuffla in Normandy where the family was noted in the 9th and 10th Centuries. Arthur Folkard is inclined to look for the origin in the name beyond that of the Norman town where it is first recorded and to see in it the relic of an office, rather than a locality. If so, its first intention was on of great importance – no less than the Keeper (warden) of the Bridge. And as ‘pontifex’ means ‘the builder of the bridge’, so 'ponte-chardon' means its guardian'

ADDING ON TO MY RESEARCH OF 13 MONTHS AGO, I HAVE FOUND THE
FRENCH CONNECTION ,JOAN PONCHARD BORN 1142?(NORFOLK)HER FATHER JOHN BORN 1112? (NORFOLK)
ENGLAND MARRIED A FRENCH WOMAN
NAME ADELM DE BURGO DE MORTAIGNE BORN 1117? FRANCE,SO IT
LOOKS LIKE PONCHARD FAMILY WAS IN ENGLAND (NORFOLK) AT THE
TURN OF THE 11TH CENTURY 250 YEARS BEFORE THE FAMILY CREST WAS MADE IN FRANCE 1350. MY RESEARCH WAS DONE BY CHECKING
ANCESTRY.COM.AU FAMILY TREES AND CROSS CONNECTING THEM.

Hi Dianne,

Edith Rebecca May Ponchard (b. 1893) is daughter of Christiana Hayes (b. 1868 and Henry Cecil Ponchard (b. 1855). I suppose we are very distnt relatives.

I am not sure of the origin of the name, but I am sure it is French.

A cousin of mine has done some research in this area and I can send you some more information on the Hayes/Ponchard tree if you wish.

Regards

Denis Hayes

She (May) was born in Cooma 1894.Is the origin of this name English? Hope to hear from some Ponchard's who might be related
