Little is known about the life of this Francis Paynter. If he followed his father into he legal profession, then it appears that he was never involved with the Newman Paynter partnership.

Francis does however appear momentarily in the Newman family history in that he acted as a witness to the marriage of his mother and old Edwin Newman on 27 Sept 1876 - see http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com.

Five of the Paynter brothers can be seen in the photo below, taken at Freelands circa. 1876, sent to me by Ray Farnsworth. Presumably the photo was taken before Catherine's marriage since Edwin does not appear in it.

I think Ray may have made a mistake insofar as it looks to me that Francis Edward Paynter is standing at rear left and not John de Cambourne. I base this opinion on appearances only - (a) he looks older than the other brothers, (b) he has the same head-shape as Francis in the earlier photo above and (c) the receding hairline is similar.

Presumably John de Cambourne is standing next to Francis, but I can't be sure - this brother looks much younger than Henry, whereas John de Cambourne was older.

I'm pretty sure that Ray is right in naming Henry and James Bernard on the back right and the Rev Beville seated in the middle row, but (from comparing photos again) I'm not convinced that the lady sitting next to Henrietta is Kathleen.
