Outline his Life: Read Chapter 8 of Boskenna and the Paynters by Jim Hosking

I have a hand-written copy of a Paynter family tree left to me by my father, which appears to have been prepared by Mary Davies Paynter in 1898. It can be viewed by clicking here.

Hugh Haweis Paynter: m. December quarter, 1890 Paddington reg. district, London, England to Beatrice Louisa Barkworth (parents: Harold Barkworth & Julia Traill Sandbach) b.c.1866, Beverley, Yorkshire, England bp.19-Sep-1866, St Mary & St Nicholas, Beverley, Yorkshire, England.

From the Online 1901 Census Index I found the following entry:
Beatrice PAYNTER: age 34; b. Yorks Beverley; living in Rye, Sussex; occupation: Living on Own Means
Ann PAYNTER: age 8; b. Sussex Slaughman; living in Rye Sussex
Donnett PAYNTER (female); age 6; b. Teansvaal Doonfontein; living in Rye Sussex.

Note received from Eric Percival (Sep 2004) relating to Harold Barkworth & Julia Traill Sandbach, mentioned above:

Harold and Julia had another son - John Edmund, who married the daughter of Ralph Copeland, Fanny Susan. Both Ralph and Fanny were remarkable people - Fanny ended up in Slovenia where she died at the age of 98. It seems that her marriage to John was not the happiest - and I don't know if they separated before he died (in Geneva in the late 1920's) or whether she stayed with him until them. Anyway, they had 3 children. John was 14 years older than Fanny. He taught the organ at Fettes in Edinburgh (the school where our Prime Minister, Tony Blair was educated.) He later had a visiting professorship at the Peabody Institute in Boston where he also taught the organ.

Did you know that Reginald Hearle Paynter was previously married to Sarah Ann Clay? they had a son bpt 17 March 1751, St Mary, Marylebone, Reginald Paynter PAYNTER! I found Sarah on the 1851 census under Ann Sarah Paynter, aged 25, born Chatham Kent, officer 's wife artillery. She was a visitor at Restornal House, Lanlivery, Bodmin, with Charles Bruine Graves Sawle 34, a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant, and his family.

Information about Sarah Clay kindly sent to me by Michelle Moody, 2nd Dec 2008:

It is possible that Reginald Hearle Paynter was previously married to Sarah Ann Clay and that they had a son Reginald Paynter PAYNTER bpt 17 March 1751, St Mary, Marylebone. Michelle found Sarah on the 1851 census under Ann Sarah Paynter, aged 25, born Chatham Kent, officer 's wife artillery. She was a visitor at Restornal House, Lanlivery, Bodmin, with Charles Bruine Graves Sawle 34, a magistrate and Deputy Lieutenant, and his family. This information came from IGI extracted from a local register. However when Michelle subsequently checked the GRO index for a marriage between Reginald H. and Sarah Ann Clay she found nothing. And when she checked the GRO index birth for the son Reginald, she also found nothing. The IGI information is quite possibly erroneous.
