Walter Charles Paynter, my paternal grandfather married to Frieda Agnes Zunckel in Bergville, South Africa in the early 1920's. He served in the Colonial Police in Tanganyika (now Tanzania) as a young man, farmed on a family farm in the Weenen District, Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, moved to Springs, SA and then To Port Elizabeth, SA where he died in 1953. His family came to South Africa from Cornwall in the latter part of the 19th century (not an official part of the 1820 settlers, he was one of 13 children, I am told, I am desperately trying to establish his parentage, if anyone can assist me I woul be very grateful.
