Similar spelling to someone who came out to NZ in the 1800s, one here, was Frank William Dundee Quaintrell.. I have heard over the years, the surname was from London, but believe connections with either Canada or USA according to the family I have been in touch with.. wonder if there is a connection at all, hence my reply!
