Biographical data
Name: Punchard, Charles  
Born: 14 Mar. 1833
Died: 8 Jan. 1905
 
Notes:
Full name from correspondence from David Cohen. Yanofsky has 'M. Princhard'? Wright has 'Punchard, J.' at Toronto 1892, but 'Punchard, Charles' at Orillia 1897. I guess that these are actually the same and that the initial 'J.' was an error.
