Biography

Charles Punchard was born in 1855 in Shalford, Surrey, England to William Punchard and Jane (Marshall) Punchard. His birth was registered in Hambledon, Surrey in the second quarter of the year.^[1] Charles was christened in Shalford on 11 Apr 1858.^[2]

[Yet to locate Charles or his family on the 1861 census, possibly the names were incorrectly transcribed, but also the family moved from Surrey to Berkshire around this time so it is difficult to know where they were living]

In 1871 Charles Punchard (age 16, Labourer) lived in St Mary, Berkshire with his mother Jane (37, Dressmaker) and two younger sisters: Caroline (9) and Annie (4).^[3] His father William (49, Labourer) also lived in St Mary, but was lodging at another house.^[4] William is listed as "married," while Jane is "widowed" - however, these are definitely the right people and William didn't pass away until 1874.
