Hello Tisy
I am new to this forum and have just registered today....only because I am hopeful that I might find a link to add to my tree.
I would be very interested in finding out more about your Payne family link - I am a Payne from South Africa and my g-grandfather Ernest William Payne was born in Wynberg, Cape in Oct 1886 (one of I believe 4 children that I have been able to trace).......his parents being Alfred Ernest Payne and Mary Johanna (have no further info on them).
This line of my family tree continues to frustrate me - I have been researching for the last 15 years and am not getting very far - but from reading your messages I am feeling hopeful that I might be near to a breakthrough. Do you think that you might be able to help or can you suggest a lead I can follow!
Looking forward to your reply - or any other reponses.

Hi all Paynes,
Saw your correspondence and just thought I'd add this -
My gg grandfather, Abraham Wild (1819) was an 1820 Settler to South Africa. He married Ann (Annie) Payne, daughter of Elisha Payne who was also an 1820 Settler. Have a look at the settler parties on the 1820Settler.com website - it just struck me when I say that some of the Paynes had biblical names!
Happy hunting!
