I'm looking for any info about my great grandfather Arthur Pay, born aprox. 1869 in, most likely Faversham, Kent, and who fought in the second Boer War around 1900 in South Africa, started as Lt., got promoted to Captain, and left to British Guyana and later to Suriname and died around 1945.
Information about SA-files, webites will be highly welcome cos it's pretty difficult to find anything on him. Thanx!

I have an Arthur Thomas Pay listed on a family tree. He was born 22.12.1874, married Lily Ethel Whitbourn on 22.04.1922. Died 6.06.1943.

No info on where he was born or died, but the person who has been working on a book on the Pay family and passed this info on to me is: Lyn Mitchell, and can be contacted at lynmitch@netspace.net.au.

Good luck. Bev.

Thanx Brother Jan,
The Sussex Pays go back to 1513, as you probably found out.
Another wife? He had one in SA & another one in Su. He re-discovered bauxite in Su around 1914...

Pretty hard to find info on the Fennely familly, but they seemed to have had exploitation rights/claims on probably nowadays totally ruined acres of nature...
The military file of our beloved Arthur is available at Kew, but that might be a wrong lead.

Found info on Arthur William Paye in the UK Census of 1871, with a brother Alfred & mother Ada Emily Paye.Their father is most likely Charles William, son of either Thomas Bridger or a John Pay.
Ada Emily (born Smith?) remarried to Mr. Maling.
This lineage via George, Edward, George etc. leads back to the 1400's (Richard, Sussex).
The family changed it several times to Pay or Paye during the centuries.
Our beloved Captain Pay wasn't very keen on being photographed unfortunately.
