Thanks Jenn.  I'd found the ABD entry and so was keen to place him in the tree  but had not seen the Canberra Times article

Thanks Judith

Hi Judith,
Are you still looking for info about Duke William Paine?
My maiden name is Paine and he was my G3 Grandfather as well.

Hi Jenny,

Welcome to Rootschat! I'm always happy for new information and I would love to share what information I have with you. Which of Duke's children is your ancestor? I haven't looked at this line for a while so I'll have to check how far I got.

Cheers, Jane

Hi Jane,

I have to confess that I haven't really done any family tree research - it's all  been handed down to me.  I just happened to be 'Googling' Duke William Paine and your conversation came up on this website.  As I  have quite a bit of info I thought I'd get in touch.  I have a bit of family tree before Duke William going back to his Great grandfather who was William Pain (1731-1800).  The 'e' only starts to appear in the next generation.

My line comes down through his son, Duke Edward, who had Gladys (1889-1975) and Duke William (1895-1978), who was my grandfather.  Duke Douglas was my grandfather's cousin.

Anyway, if you would like me to dig up anything in particular or send info just let me know.  I may be able to get in touch with someone in the family who is doing family history.

Jenny.

Hello again Jenny,

I believe William PAINES parents were William Pain 1696-1755 and Ann Weston 1709-1780, married West Tarring 30 March 1725. I have not yet verifed this information which came from another's research.

I was in touch with a couple of other Paine Family researchers a couple of years ago, both here in Australia and in the UK, one of whom lives in Worthing close to where they came from.
