RICHARD HUGH DE CAMBORNE PAYNTER
My father was Richard Hugh de Camborne Paynter. i was adopted by him and his wife Margaret in 1952 in Salisbury Rhodesia. He had a son David de Camborne Paynter who lives in Cape Town, he in turn has children. My father was in the British South African Police in the early 1930's or thereabouts and then he was a Magistrate, in the Prison Service and at the end he was with the Ian Smith government, on the constitutional Council of Rhodesia. We had a Coat of Arms but unfortunately as i am not in contact with my Step Brother he has all that including my fathers MBE, although I have the Citation, he has the Medal.My father had a brother also in Rhodesia Rene, and he had children Rosemary and Christopher, unfortunately i have lost touch as i was the 'adopted member of the Family'I know he came from Camborne in Cornwall and had 4 brothers altogether (I believe). He was born in 1900. 8th March. If anybody can give me more information I would appreciate it. Many thanks.
