My interest is the PUNYER surname until today I knew it as a very localised Kentish name but I have just had the 1571 will of John Punyer transcribed. He was a yeoman of Saxtead Suffolk. this is the first time my interest has brought me to Suffolk and I hope SKS will be able to answer my queries. He requests in his will that he be buried in the church yard of Saxtead, does the church and yard still exist? Google map of Saxtead doesn't show a lot! Does Suffolk FHS publish any parish records for the area. I can't find an IGI transcription of Saxstead parish records. The will mentions his wife Alice and a number of nephews and nieces all with the surname Punyer which makes me think there must have been brothers as well as a married sister with the surname Pechy. A few more names appear, Fryet(t), Rumsye, Grymble, Penninge and Kent. There is also a reference to "Crosse Pyghtle" Pyghtle is an ancient Anglo-Saxon word meaning "small parcel of land, a small enclosure, a croft". Still in use in East Anglia however I haven't been able to find "Crosse pyghtle" If anyone has an interest in any of the above please contact me and I'd be delighted to share any information I have.
