Paulger Family History

Paulger Surname Meaning

Perhaps an altered pronunciation of Poucher. Compare John Poucher of North Thoresby (1369 in Feet of Fines) which is close to the villages in N Lincs where Pawger and Pauger are recorded. The change in vowel is irregular and this may not be the right explanation.

Alternatively, perhaps a variant of Palgrave in which -grave has been reduced to -ger. In N Lincs, compare Thomas Powlgrave 1577 in IGI (Winteringham Lincs); James Poulgrave 1585 in IGI (Winterton Lincs); Robt. Poulgrave 1632, Robt. Palgrave 1637, Joseph Palegrave 1644 in IGI (Barton upon Humber Lincs).

However, there is insufficient evidence to be confident of this explanation.
