PAYNTER was born in Simon's Town, Cape Colony, son of Richard Paynter (1838–1918) and Esther Jane nee Furby (1841–1914) (FS). He came to the Witwatersrand as a youngster when gold was discovered. He had originally been apprenticed as a master craftsman in woodwork and does not appear to have had any formal architectural training. Much of his architectural work was of a small domestic nature; among his few recorded works are the Boksburg North Synagogue and Parktown Mansions. He married Eliza Scott (1866–1924) in Cape Town, Cape Colony on 1894 04 18 (FS). His son CM PAYNTER became an architect. After the death of his wife he married Jane Mary Theodora Ware (1887–??) in Cape Town on 1926 08 10 (FS). (ISAA mem list; Norwich 1985, 1987; UTD 1915; Family Search).
